Correct Answer: B
Solution :
[b] Statement 1 is incorrect, according to Article 258A, the Governor of a state may give to the Union Government any of the administrative functions of that state with the consent of the Union Government. The union on the other hand can delegate functions on to a state even without the consent of the concerned state by making such a provision in a law passed by the Union Parliament. Thus, Statement 2 is correct. Statement 3 is also correct since the President can entrust any union function on a State Government without any sanction from the Union Parliament by taking the consent from the State Government as provided in Article 258(1). Thus, the right answer is [b].
