Why is the principle of majority in Lok Sabha decisive in government formation?

Correct answer: Because the Council of Ministers is collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha

Direct answer: A is correct. India follows a parliamentary system. After a Lok Sabha election, the Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers must have the support, or confidence, of a majority of Lok Sabha members. This support allows the government to be formed and to continue in office. If the government loses a confidence vote or cannot prove majority support, it may have to resign. The key reason is collective responsibility: the Council of Ministers stands together before the Lok Sabha and is answerable to it. A is correct because it states this constitutional principle. B is wrong because the Rajya Sabha is a permanent House and is not dissolved by the Lok Sabha. C is wrong because Lok Sabha members are elected by voters, not by the judiciary. D is wrong because the President’s constitutional role in financial procedure is not based on the wording given; the decisive issue here is the Council’s majority support. Memory cue: majority in Lok Sabha means the government has the numbers needed to remain accountable and in office.
