SSC CPO 2023 PYQ — Question 78

SSC CPO - 3 Oct 2023 - Shift 1 • General Awareness • Q78

The dissolution of the Lok Sabha takes place under which circumstance?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. On the advice of the Prime Minister.

The dissolution of the Lok Sabha occurs on the advice of the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister can advise the President to dissolve the Lok Sabha, typically when the Prime Minister's government loses its majority or when the term of the Lok Sabha is about to end. This action leads to general elections being held to form a new Lok Sabha. Dissolution does not happen automatically on the completion of the term; it requires this formal advice.
