Select the correct option from below given codes:
Answer: B
Notes:
Explanation: The Vice-President, like the president, is elected not directly by the people but by the method of indirect election.
- He is elected by the members of an electoral college consisting of the members of both Houses of Parliament.
- Thus, this electoral college is different from the electoral college for the election of the President in the following two respects:
- It consists of both elected and nominated members of the Parliament (in the case of president, only elected members).
- It does not include the members of the state legislative assemblies (in the case of President, the elected members of the state legislative assemblies are included).
