(a)मूळच्या राज्य घटनेत उपराष्ट्रपतीची निवड संसदेच्या दोन्ही सभागराहांच्या संयुक्त बैठकीत व्हावी अशी तरतूद होती. / The original Constitution provided that the Vice-President would be elected by the two Houses of Parliament assembled at a joint meeting.

(c)उपराष्ट्रपतीची निवड दोन्ही सभागृहांच्या केवळ निर्वाचित सदस्यांच्या निवडमंडळाकडून केली जाते. / The Vice-President is elected by the members of an electoral college consisting of the elected members only of both the Houses.

Originally, the Vice-President was to be elected by a joint sitting of both houses of Parliament. The 11th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1961 changed this to an electoral college of both houses, and stated that an incomplete electoral college cannot invalidate the election. Statement c is wrong because elected AND nominated members both participate in the VP election.
