Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. six months.
Under Article 356 of the Indian Constitution, if the President is satisfied with the Governor's report regarding the failure of the state government to function according to constitutional provisions, the President may declare President’s Rule. Such a proclamation is initially valid for a period of six months. This period can be extended, but each extension requires parliamentary approval. The imposition of President’s Rule allows the central government to assume control of the state administration temporarily.
