Exp) Option c is the correct answer
Statement 1 is correct. The US President is both the Head of the State and Head of the Government, whereas the Indian president is only the head of the State. President of the US is the real executive. Indian President like the British monarch is only a titular head.
Statement 2 is correct. The US president is not part of any legislature and is not responsible to the legislatures. Indian president is an integral part of the Parliament. In India, the Parliament includes the President and the two houses- Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
