Q1. The executive powers and functions of the Governor are: (I) All executive actions of the Government of a State are formally taken in his name. (II) He cannot seek any information relating to the administration of the affairs of the State and proposals for legislation from the Ministers. (III) He can make rules for the more convenient transaction of the business of a State Government. (IV) He appoints the Chief Minister and other Ministers. Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Explanation
The valid executive powers are that State executive action is formally taken in the Governor’s name, the Governor may make rules for convenient transaction of State Government business, and the Governor appoints the Chief Minister and other Ministers. The statement saying that the Governor cannot seek information from Ministers is wrong; under the constitutional scheme, the Governor can require such information. Therefore the combination retaining I, III and IV, while excluding II, matches the official key.
