Answers
Answer:
"Union and State Government" can make laws on the "concurrent list subject".
Explanation:
Both the union and the state have their own list of subjects in which they are allowed to make laws. The union list has 100 subjects and the state list has 61 subjects.
However there are certain subjects in which the union and state, both can make laws. This list is known as the Concurrent list. This list has 52 subjects which includes marriage and divorce, electricity, economic or social planning etc. In 1976 under 42nd amendment act, 5 more subjects were transferred in this list to increase the subjects from 47 to 52.
Concurrent list subject – The lists were created to separate the work areas of the "central and state governments".
Answer: Option (D)
Explanation:
It contains three lists
- Union list
- State list
- Concurrent list
The Union List is the list on which only the Central Government has the authority to make laws.
States come under the list over which only that particular state has the right to make laws.
In the same concurrent list, there are such subjects that are subordinate to both the state and the center and both the state and the center can make laws on the subjects of the concurrent list.
