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

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C

Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect: Unstarred questions are those for which a Member desires a written answer, not an oral one.

Statement 2 is incorrect: Starred questions are those for which a Member desires an oral answer in the House, distinguished by an asterisk mark.

Statement 3 is correct: Because unstarred questions receive written replies placed on the Table of the House, no supplementary questions can be asked on them. In contrast, supplementary questions can be asked following an oral answer to a starred question.

Since only Statement 3 is correct, there is only one correct statement.
