Why does the Prime Minister inform the President about decisions of the Council of Ministers?

Correct answer: Because the President is the constitutional head and should be informed about governance matters

The correct answer is A. The President is the constitutional head of the Union, so the Prime Minister has a constitutional duty to keep the President informed about the decisions of the Council of Ministers and other important matters of administration. This does not mean that the President personally directs every government decision. In a parliamentary system, the Council of Ministers exercises real executive authority while remaining responsible to the Lok Sabha, and the President acts mainly on its advice. Option A is correct because it identifies the President’s constitutional position and the need for official information. Option B is wrong because the Speaker presides over the Lok Sabha and is not the President. Option C is wrong because the President does not elect the Prime Minister by voting for that person. Option D is wrong because the judiciary is independent and is not run by the President. Memory cue: the Prime Minister is the link between the Council of Ministers and the constitutional head.
