Which Article of the Indian Constitution mentions that a person may be appointed as the Governor of two or more states?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Article 153.

Article 153 of the Indian Constitution provides that the President of India may appoint a person as the Governor of two or more states. It states: "There shall be a Governor for each State, but nothing in this article shall prevent the appointment of the same person as Governor for two or more States." This allows the President to assign a single individual to govern multiple states when necessary, although each state may have its own Governor in regular circumstances.
