A. State government
B. Central government
C. Both of them
D. None of them

Answer 1

Answer:

D OR B

Explanation:

THE ADMINISTRATOR IS APPOINTED BY THE PRESIDENT WITH A SUITABLE DESIGNATION

Answer 2

Answer:

B. Central government

Explanation:

Union Territories, with the exception of Delhi, have a smaller population and land area than states. As a result, they are too small to be self-governing and are managed by the Union Government (except for Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir and Puducherry).

Unless otherwise determined by Parliament, the administration of Union Territories is vested in the President, who acts through an Administrator to the extent he sees fit. The President follows the recommendations of his Ministers, who are accountable to Parliament.
