Consider the following statements in respect of questions asked by the Members in the Parliament of India :<br/><br/>1. Unstarred questions are those to which a Member desires an oral answer in the House.<br/>2. Starred questions are those to which a Member desires a written answer.<br/>3. No supplementary question can be asked on an unstarred question.<br/><br/>Which one of the following conclusions based on the above statements is correct ?<br/>

  1. All the three statements are correct.
  2. There are two correct statements, that include statement 2.
  3. There is only one correct statement.
  4. There is no correct statement.

Answer

There is only one correct statement.

Statements 1 and 2 are reversed. A starred question seeks an oral answer, while an unstarred question gets a written answer. Statement 3 is correct because no supplementary question is allowed on an unstarred question. So only one statement is correct.
