पुढील विधानांपैकी कोणती बरोबर आहेत ?
(a) केंद्रातील मंत्रिमंडळ हे सामूहिकरित्या संसदेला जबाबदार असतात.
(b) लोकसभा व राज्यसभा यांचे सदस्य असलेल्या व्यक्ती ह्या केंद्रीय मंत्रीमंडळामध्ये मंत्री होण्यास पात्र असतात.
पर्यायी उत्तरे :

The correct answer is Option B (Only (b)).

Key Points:
• Council of Ministers Provisions (Article 75):
• Statement (a) is INCORRECT: Under Article 75(3), the Council of Ministers is collectively responsible to the House of the People (Lok Sabha), NOT to the entire Parliament (i.e., not to the Rajya Sabha). Therefore, statement (a) is factually and constitutionally inaccurate.
• Statement (b) is CORRECT: Ministers can be members of either the Lok Sabha or the Rajya Sabha. Under Article 75(5), a person who is not a member of either House can also be appointed as a minister, but must become a member of either House within 6 consecutive months.
• Under Article 88, every Minister has the right to speak and take part in proceedings of both Houses and any parliamentary committee of which he is named a member, but can vote only in the House of which he is a member.
• Key Takeaway: The Council of Ministers is collectively responsible specifically to the Lok Sabha (Art 75(3)), not Parliament; ministers can be from LS or RS.
