Q1. Read the statements carefully: (I) Tikaram Paliwal is the only Chief Minister who has also been a Deputy Chief Minister in Rajasthan. (II) Hari Shankar Bhabhra has been the Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan for the longest time till now. Which of the following options is correct?
Explanation
Both statements are correct in the context of the 2022 CET paper. Tikaram Paliwal served as Chief Minister and also as Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan, making the first statement valid. Hari Shankar Bhabhra held the Deputy Chief Minister’s office for the longest duration among Rajasthan’s Deputy Chief Ministers up to that period, so the second statement is also valid. Therefore, readings that accept only Tikaram Paliwal’s statement, accept only Hari Shankar Bhabhra’s statement, or reject both statements miss one or both established facts.
