In which of the following years were two additional Commissioners appointed to the Election commission of India for the first time?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
A. 1989A. 1989
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is 1989.
According to the source, the Election Commission originally had only a Chief Election Commissioner.
The explanation states that it currently consists of the Chief Election Commissioner and two Election Commissioners.
Most importantly for this question, the source states that two additional Commissioners were appointed for the first time on 16 October 1989.
Their tenure was very short and lasted until 1 January 1990.
Therefore the source-supported revision chain is: Election Commission of India → originally only Chief Election Commissioner → two additional Commissioners first appointed → 16 October 1989 → short tenure → until 1 January 1990.
The years 1991, 1990 and 1998 are distractors.
The source's statement about the Commission's 'current' composition is time-dependent, so it is retained as a statement made by the book rather than presented as an independently verified current fact.
Quick revision: First appointment of two additional Election Commissioners = 16 October 1989 according to source.
Therefore option (a) is correct.
सही उत्तर 1989 है। स्रोत के अनुसार Election Commission में originally केवल Chief Election Commissioner था। Explanation कहती है कि source के समय Commission में Chief Election Commissioner और two Election Commissioners शामिल थे। Question के लिए सबसे महत्वपूर्ण fact यह है कि पहली बार two additional Commissioners की appointment 16 October 1989 को हुई थी। Source बताती है कि उनका tenure बहुत short था और 1 January 1990 तक चला। इसलिए source-supported revision chain है: Election Commission of India → Originally Only Chief Election Commissioner → First Two Additional Commissioners → 16 October 1989 → Short Tenure → 1 January 1990 तक। 1991, 1990 और 1998 distractors हैं। Commission की 'current' composition वाला statement time-dependent है, इसलिए उसे book के समय का statement माना गया है। Quick revision: First Two Additional Election Commissioners = 16 October 1989। इसलिए विकल्प (a) सही है।
