Which one of the following statements in not correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Statement 2 is incorrect because the removal of the Vice-President requires more than just a simple majority in the Rajya Sabha. According to Article 67(b), the Vice-President can be removed by a resolution of the Council of States (Rajya Sabha) passed by a majority of all the then members (effective majority) and agreed to by the House of the People (Lok Sabha) [c1][c2]. The Lok Sabha's agreement is mandatory, making the claim that it is passed in the 'Rajya Sabha only' false [c3]. Regarding other options: the term of office is five years [c1][c2]; the Vice-President continues in office until a successor enters upon the office (Article 67, Proviso c); and under Article 71, the Supreme Court has exclusive jurisdiction to inquire into and decide all doubts and disputes arising out of the election of a Vice-President.
