Question and options
Which of the following statements about the President of India is incorrect?
- The President is competent to declare war and peace
- The maximum age prescribed for election as President of India is 65 years
- The term of office of the President is 5 years
- The President is the supreme commander of the armed forces
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - The maximum age prescribed for election as President of India is 65 years
There is no maximum age for election as President; Art 58 only prescribes a minimum of 35 years. The term is 5 years, he is the supreme commander, and the war power vests in him, so the statement about a maximum age of 65 is incorrect.
