Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A

Explanation

Both statements are incorrect based on the provisions of the Constitution of India:

  • Statement 1 is incorrect: Article 108 (not Article 109) provides for a Joint Sitting of both Houses of Parliament to resolve a deadlock between the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. Article 109 specifically deals with the special procedure in respect of Money Bills.
  • Statement 2 is incorrect: A Joint Sitting can only be convened for Ordinary Bills and Financial Bills. It cannot be called for a Money Bill or a Constitution Amendment Bill. According to Article 368, a Constitution Amendment Bill must be passed by each House of Parliament separately by a special majority; there is no provision for a joint sitting to resolve a disagreement on such bills.
