1. In a coalition government situation, the Governor generally asks the leader to prove majority:
A. Before the Election Commission
B. On the Assembly floor
C. Before the Supreme Court
D. Before the Council of Ministers
Correct Answer: B. On the Assembly floor
Explanation: In a parliamentary democracy, legitimacy comes from majority support inside the legislature. Therefore, when election results are fractured, the Governor normally asks the leader claiming support to prove majority on the floor of the Assembly. This practice follows constitutional convention and judicial principles evolved through cases like the S.R. Bommai judgment. Floor tests reduce political uncertainty and prevent arbitrary decisions by constitutional authorities. They are considered the most transparent method to determine whether a government enjoys legislative confidence.
