Correct answer: A
Working through it, option A is the one. Under Maharashtra's Gram Panchayat rules, a Sarpanch or Upa-Sarpanch vacancy caused by resignation must be filled within thirty days — statement (a) holds. A directly elected Sarpanch vacancy follows a longer election cycle (not the three-month rule in (b)), and absence from meetings alone does not permanently bar re-election as (c) claims.

Straight to the answer — option B. A Village Development Committee must have at least one-third members from the Gram Panchayat, at least half women, and the Gram Sevak as ex-officio member-secretary — (b), (c), and (e). The member ceiling in (a) and making the Deputy Sarpanch ex-officio chairman in (d) do not match the Act.

The verified answer here is option D. The Sarkaria Commission (1983) reviewed Centre–State relations and recommended stronger cooperation — it did not call for abolishing the Governor, All India Services, or the Inter-State Council. All three options describe abolition the Commission never favoured.

The right pick is option D. The Advocate General holds office during the Governor's pleasure (not the Council of Ministers), remuneration is fixed by the Governor (not the Legislature), and he cannot appear against the State Government for a private party — so none of (A)–(C) stands.

On this one, option B. Both assertions are true: parliamentary and presidential systems exercise legislative control over the executive differently, and democratic government does involve such control. But (B) states a general democratic fact — it does not explain why the two systems differ, so it is not the correct explanation of (A).
Read full explanation →Correct answer: B
Go with option B. At the state level a Money Bill can be introduced only on the Governor's recommendation — that is (b) alone. Private members cannot introduce it ((a) wrong), the Speaker (not the Governor) decides money-bill disputes ((c) wrong), and there is no joint sitting route for a state money-bill deadlock ((d) wrong).
