Q1. For how many months can a person remain a Minister in Rajasthan without being a member of the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly?
A 3 months
B 4 months
C 6 months Correct
D 12 months
Explanation
A person who is not a member of the state legislature may be appointed as a Minister, but must become a member within six months; otherwise the person ceases to be a Minister. This rule follows the constitutional scheme for state ministers. Three months and four months are shorter than the permitted constitutional window, so they do not match the rule. Twelve months is too long because the non-member cannot continue for a full year without securing membership. Hence the correct duration is six months.
