Q1Which of the following positions is not mentioned in the Constitution of India?

A Prime Minister
B Chief Minister
C Deputy Chief Minister
D Lok Sabha Speaker
Explanation

The post of Deputy Chief Minister is a political and administrative arrangement, but it is not expressly mentioned as a constitutional office in the Constitution of India. The Prime Minister is recognised under the Union executive scheme, and the Chief Minister is recognised in relation to the state executive. The Speaker of the Lok Sabha is also a constitutional office connected with the House of the People. Therefore, among the given positions, Deputy Chief Minister is the one outside the Constitution's explicit list of offices.

Q2Which of the following is not a constitutional post?

A Governor
B The Chief Justice
C RBI Governor
D Speaker
Explanation

The RBI Governor is not a constitutional post; it is a statutory and administrative office connected with the Reserve Bank of India. The Governor of a State is a constitutional office under the Constitution. The Chief Justice, whether of India or of a High Court in this broad wording, is part of the constitutional judicial structure. The Speaker of the Lok Sabha or a State Legislative Assembly is also recognised in the Constitution. Hence the non-constitutional post among the given choices is the RBI Governor.
