Consider the following statements : 1. No person is eligible for appointment as Governor unless he has completed the age of thirty years. 2. The same person can be appointed as Governor for three States. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

According to Article 157 of the Indian Constitution, a person is eligible for appointment as Governor only if they are a citizen of India and have completed the age of 35 years [c1][t1][t8]. Statement 1 is incorrect as it mentions thirty years. Regarding Statement 2, the 7th Constitutional Amendment Act of 1956 amended Article 153 to facilitate the appointment of the same person as Governor for two or more states [t7][t8]. There is no constitutional limit restricting this appointment to only two states; therefore, a person can be appointed as Governor for three states if the President so determines. When such an appointment occurs, the Governor's emoluments and allowances are allocated among the concerned states in a proportion determined by the President [t7][t8]. Thus, only Statement 2 is correct.
