Question

With reference to Union Government, consider the following statements:
1. The number of Ministries at the Centre on 15th August 1947 was 18.
2. The number of Ministries at the Centre at present is 36.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Accepted Answer

Here's a brief explanation:

1.  Statement 1: The first Union Cabinet formed on August 15, 1947, consisted of approximately 14-15 ministries/ministers, not 18. Therefore, statement 1 is incorrect.

2.  Statement 2: The number of Ministries at the Centre can fluctuate over time. While the exact count depends on how ministries and departments are categorized, 36 is a plausible number for distinct ministries at a particular point in time or under a specific interpretation. Given that statement 1 is definitively incorrect and the provided correct answer is B, statement 2 is considered correct in the context of this question.

Since statement 1 is incorrect and statement 2 is considered correct, option B is the right answer.
