Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

Article 99 ---Composition of the Council of States/Rajya Sabha

Solution :

The correct option is Article 99 ---Composition of the Council of States/Rajya Sabha.

To understand why this is the incorrectly matched pair, let us examine the constitutional provisions associated with each article mentioned in the options:
1. Article 93: This article states that the House of the People (Lok Sabha) shall choose two members of the House to be respectively Speaker and Deputy Speaker thereof. Hence, this pair is correctly matched.
2. Article 89: This article specifies that the Vice-President of India shall be ex-officio Chairman of the Council of States (Rajya Sabha), and that the Council of States shall choose a member to be the Deputy Chairman. Hence, this pair is correctly matched.
3. Article 105: This article defines the powers, privileges, and immunities of the Houses of Parliament, and of the members and committees thereof. Hence, this pair is correctly matched.
4. Article 99: This article actually deals with the Oath or affirmation by members of either House of Parliament before taking their seats. It requires every member to make and subscribe to an oath or affirmation before the President or some person appointed by him.

The provision for the Composition of the Council of States (Rajya Sabha) is instead laid down under Article 80 of the Indian Constitution, which specifies the maximum strength and the composition of its members. Therefore, Article 99 is incorrectly matched.
