1.Under Article 72 of the Indian Constitution, The President of India has the power to grant pardons, reprieves, respites, or remissions of punishment, or to suspend, remit or commute the sentence of any person convicted of an offence.
2.The Governor of a State has similar powers under Article 161 of the Constitution, but unlike the President, the Governor cannot pardon sentences related to death penalties.
3.The President’s power to grant pardons is exclusive and cannot be overruled by the Governor’s actions in any matter related to any crimes.
How many of the statements is/are correct?
Correct
(b) Only two statements are correct (1st and 2nd)
Article 72 of the Constitution empowers the President of India to grant pardons, reprieves, respites, or remissions of punishment, or to suspend, remit or commute the sentence of any person convicted of an offence. This includes cases where the sentence is death, provided it involves the executive power of the Union.
Article 161 empowers the Governor to grant pardons, reprieves, respites, or remissions of punishment, or to suspend, remit, or commute sentences in cases related to State laws. However, unlike the President, the Governor cannot grant pardons in cases of death sentences. This power is confined to the President.
While the President has the power to grant pardons, it is not exclusive in the sense that it cannot be overruled by a Governor. Governors have separate powers under Article 161, and the President’s powers are more extensive, particularly regarding death sentences, but they do not override the Governor’s powers in matters related to State crimes.

Correct
(d) All four
The Kakatiya Dynasty was a South Indian Telugu dynasty that ruled most of eastern Deccan region in present-day India between 12th and 14th centuries. Early Kakatiya rulers served as feudatories to Rashtrakutas and Western Chalukyas for more than two centuries. They assumed sovereignty under Prataparudra I in 1163 CE by suppressing other Chalukya subordinates in the Telangana region.
Marco Polo, who visited India around 1289–1293, made note of Rudrama Devi’s rule and nature in flattering terms.
The Kakatiya polity was based on the monarchical system. The Kakatiya ruler was the pivot of the entire administrative structure, yet he was not an absolute autocrat.
Generally, in the process of succession, they followed the law of primogeniture (is a law of inheritance that gives the firstborn child the right to inherit the deceased’s property, wealth, and/or title) and as already referred; a woman coming to the throne was a remarkable exception.
