Q. Consider the following pairs:
1. Starred question It requires a written answer and supplementary questions cannot follow
2. Unstarred question It requires an oral answer and supplementary questions can follow
3. Short notice question It is asked by giving a notice of less than 10 days
How many of the pairs given above are incorrectly matched?
Answer: B
Notes:
Exp) Option b is the correct answer
The first hour of every parliamentary sitting is slotted for Question Hour. During this time, the members ask questions and the ministers usually give answers. The questions are of three kinds, namely, starred, unstarred and short notice.
Pair 1 is incorrectly matched. A starred question (distinguished by an asterisk) requires an oral answer and hence supplementary questions can follow.
Pair 2 is incorrectly matched. An unstarred question, on the other hand, requires a written answer and hence, supplementary questions cannot follow.
Pair 3 is correctly matched. A short notice question is one that is asked by giving a notice of less than ten days. It is answered orally.
