- The President does not exercise his/her discretion on the advice given by the Council of Ministers.
- All members of the Parliament of India and the Legislative assemblies of the States of India and the Union territories of Delhi and Puducherry take part in electing the President.

Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: b)
The President can send back the advice given by the Council of Ministers and ask the Council to reconsider the decision. In doing this, the President acts on his (or her) own discretion. When the President thinks that the advice has certain flaws or legal lacunae, or that it is not in the best interests of the country, the President can ask the Council to reconsider the decision. Although, the Council can still send back the same advice and the President would then be bound by that advice, such a request by the President to reconsider the decision, would naturally carry a lot of weight. So, this is one way in which the president can act in his own discretion.
The President is indirectly elected by means of an electoral college consisting of the elected members of the Parliament of India and the Legislative assemblies of the States of India and the Union territories of Delhi and Puducherry.
