Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1 -> Incorrect matching: Speaker is not elected by electoral college, and President is not elected by members of both Houses alone.
Option 2 -> Incorrect matching: Speaker is not elected by universal adult franchise, and President is not elected by Lok Sabha members alone.
Option 3 -> (A) SPEAKER is elected by members of Lok Sabha (II), (B) VICE-PRESIDENT is elected by members of both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha (IV), (C) MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT is elected by universal adult franchise/direct election (III), and (D) PRESIDENT is elected by an electoral college of elected members of Parliament and State Legislatures (I).
Option 4 -> Incorrect matching: Speaker is not elected by both Houses, and Member of Parliament is not elected by Lok Sabha members.
Hence, Option 3: (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (III), (D) - (I) -> This correctly reflects the Indian constitutional provisions: Speaker is chosen from within Lok Sabha by its members; Vice-President is elected by an electoral college of all Parliament members; MPs (Lok Sabha) are directly elected by citizens; and President is elected by a broader electoral college including state legislatures -> correct
