[amp_mcq option1=”4 months” option2=”6 months” option3=”8 months” option4=”9 months” correct=”option1″]
The correct answer is: A. 4 months
The Constitution of India provides that the President may summon each House of Parliament to meet at such time and place as he thinks fit. The President may also prorogue either House or both Houses. A prorogation brings a session of Parliament to an end. The President may also dissolve the Lok Sabha. A dissolution brings the entire Lok Sabha to an end.
The Constitution also provides that there shall be at least one session of Parliament every year, and that six months shall not intervene between the two sessions of Parliament. This means that the maximum gap period between two sessions of Parliament is four months.
Option B is incorrect because it is the minimum gap period between two sessions of Parliament.
Option C is incorrect because it is more than the maximum gap period between two sessions of Parliament.
Option D is incorrect because it is not a valid option.
