\nThe correct answer is C) 1, 2 and 3. All three conditions listed can result in a person being disqualified for being chosen as, or for being, a member of either House of Parliament.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– Statement 1: Article 102(1)(a) of the Constitution states that a person shall be disqualified if they hold any office of profit under the Government of India or the Government of any State, other than an office declared by Parliament by law not to disqualify its holder. This statement is correct.
\n– Statement 2: Article 102(1)(b) states that a person shall be disqualified if they are of unsound mind and stand so declared by a competent court. This statement is correct.
\n– Statement 3: Article 101(4) of the Constitution states that if a member of either House of Parliament is for a period of sixty days absent from all meetings thereof without the permission of the House, the House may declare his seat vacant. While this provision is under “Vacation of Seats” (Article 101) rather than “Disqualifications for Membership” (Article 102), the result of the seat being declared vacant is that the person is no longer able to *be* a member. The question asks for conditions for “being chosen as, and for being, a member”. Losing one’s seat due to absence effectively disqualifies a person from *being* a member. Therefore, within the context of disqualification for continuing membership, this statement is considered correct.
\n<\/section>\n
\nOther grounds for disqualification under Article 102 include being an undischarged insolvent, not being a citizen of India or having voluntarily acquired citizenship of a foreign state, or being disqualified by or under any law made by Parliament (like the Representation of the People Act, 1951, which includes disqualifications for electoral offences, corruption, conviction for certain crimes, etc.).
