Consider the following statements in the context of Attorney General of India:1.The President shall appoint a person who is qualified as to be appointed a Judge of Supreme Court.2.The Attorney General shall receive such remuneration as the Parliament may determine.Select the correct answer using the codes given below.

1. A

   Only 1 is correct

   Statement 1 is correct: Article 76(1) requires a person qualified to be a Supreme Court judge. Statement 2 is false: Article 76(4) leaves remuneration to the President, not to a parliamentary determination. Only 1 is the official key.

2. B

   Only 2 is correct

   Only 2 would require Parliament to fix the AG’s pay. The text gives that task to the President.

3. C

   Both 1 and 2 are correct

   Both cannot stand while statement 2 misstates Article 76(4).

4. D

   Neither 1 nor 2 is correct

   Neither would deny the qualification rule in Article 76(1), which is correct.

Summary. Official key is (a) only 1. The Attorney-General must meet Supreme Court-judge qualifications (citizen, five years as High Court judge or ten years as advocate, or a distinguished jurist in the President’s opinion). Pay is a presidential matter. Honour the stored letter (a).
