Assertion (A) : The President of India is the Constitutional head of the state.
Reason (R) : The Constitution vests the executive power of the Union in the Council of Ministers headed by the Prime Minister.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
The assertion is true, but the reason is false. Article 53 vests the executive power of the Union in the President, who is the constitutional head of the state. Under Article 74 the President acts on the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers headed by the Prime Minister, which therefore exercises the real executive authority without the power being vested in it.
