Q1Which Amendment Act of Constitution of India limits the size of Council of Ministers in Rajasthan ?

A The Constitution (89th Amendment) Act, 2003
B The Constitution (95th Amendment) Act, 2009
C The Constitution (91st Amendment) Act, 2003
D The Constitution (75th Amendment) Act, 1993
Explanation

The Constitution (Ninety-first Amendment) Act, 2003 inserted Article 164(1A), limiting the total number of Ministers in a State to fifteen percent of the Legislative Assembly strength, subject to the minimum of twelve. This ceiling applies to Rajasthan's Council of Ministers as well. Hence option C is correct.

Q2Consider the following statements about Rajasthan Public Service Commission : a. The Chairman and members of the Commission hold office for a term of 6 years or until they attain the age of 60 years. b. It was constituted on 1 August, 1949. c. No qualifications are prescribed for the members of the Commission except that one half of the members should be such persons who have held offices for at least 10 years under Central or State Government. d. Dr. S.C. Tripathi was the first Chairman of the Commission Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?

A a, c & d
B both b & d
C c only
D both b & c
Explanation

Article 316 keeps the tenure of a State Public Service Commission member at six years or up to the age of sixty-two years, so statement a is wrong because it says sixty. RPSC's official profile also does not support 1 August 1949 as its constitution date or Dr. S.C. Tripathi as its first Chairman; the official chairperson list begins with S.K. Ghosh. The constitutional qualification condition in statement c is correct, so option C is the answer.

Q3What is the name of the Government of Rajasthan's New Secure Payments App ?

A Rajmoney
B Raj wallet
C Bhamashah wallet
D Rajasthan Pay
Explanation

The Government of Rajasthan's secure online payment application launched under the Bhamashah programme was Bhamashah Wallet. Contemporary reports described it as a secure payment app for services such as bill payments and wallet-to-bank transactions. Therefore, option C is correct.

Q4Which one of the following power is not vested in the Governor of Rajasthan ?

A To summon the Legislative Assembly
B To adjourn the Legislative Assembly
C To dissolve the Legislative Assembly
D To prorogue the Legislative Assembly
