Single correct option

Consider the following statements about the Speaker of the Lok Sabha:
1. The Speaker is elected by the members of the Lok Sabha.
2. The Speaker votes in every division of the House.

  1. A. 1 only
  2. B. 2 only
  3. C. Both 1 and 2
  4. D. Neither 1 nor 2
Show answer and solution

Answer: (A) 1 only

The Speaker is elected from among the Lok Sabha's own members, so statement 1 is correct. However, the Speaker does not vote in the first instance but uses a casting vote only to break a tie, so statement 2 is wrong. This is why only statement 1 is right.
