The correct answer is option 3, which states that a Joint Sitting of the Parliament is resorted to for resolving the deadlock between two Houses of the Parliament for passing an Ordinary Bill.
To understand this, let`s break down the options:
1. Option 1 states that a Joint Sitting is resorted to for passing a Money Bill. However, this is not correct as a Money Bill can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha and cannot be considered in a Joint Sitting.
2. Option 2 states that a Joint Sitting is resorted to for passing a Constitutional Amendment Bill and an Ordinary Bill. This is incorrect because a Constitutional Amendment Bill has a different process for passage. It requires the support of a special majority in both Houses of Parliament, and a Joint Sitting is not used for its resolution.
3. Option 3 states that a Joint Sitting is resorted to for passing an Ordinary Bill. This is the correct answer. When the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha can`t reach a consensus on the passage of an Ordinary Bill, a Joint Sitting of both Houses is called. The Members of both Houses vote together, and if the bill receives a majority, it is considered passed.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.
