Q1. The Council of Ministers of the Indian Union is collectively responsible to the:
A Lok Sabha Correct
B President
C Prime Minister
D Rajya Sabha
Explanation
Under Article 75 of the Constitution, the Union Council of Ministers is collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha. This means the ministry must retain the confidence of the directly elected House, and loss of that confidence affects the whole Council. The President appoints the Prime Minister and ministers, but collective responsibility is not owed to the President. The Prime Minister leads the Council, yet the constitutional accountability is to the House of the People. The Rajya Sabha participates in parliamentary control, but it is not the chamber to which the Union Council is collectively responsible.
