Correct answer: (b) Only two
Explanation
- A
Only one
Only one. Two of the three Parliament statements hold.
- B
Only two
Only two. Rajya Sabha may only recommend on a Money Bill. Joint sitting is not available for a Money Bill; ‘necessary for Finance Bill’ over-claims, so not all three.
- C
All three
All three. A Finance Bill that is a Money Bill cannot be rejected by Rajya Sabha, so statement 1 is not always true.
- D
None
None. Money-Bill procedure in statement 2 is standard Article 109.
Summary. Official key is (b) only two. On a Money Bill the Rajya Sabha can only recommend (Article 109). There is no joint sitting for a Money Bill. A Finance Bill is not always a Money Bill; Rajya Sabha’s power and joint sitting depend on certification — so not every limb in 1 and 3 is clean. The paper keys two correct statements.
