Understanding the Attorney-General Role and Order

This question requires us to arrange four sentences (P, Q, R, S) into a coherent paragraph between a given first sentence (S1) and a last sentence (S6). The sentences relate to the appointment, qualifications, duties, rights, tenure, and remuneration of the Attorney-General of India.

Analyzing the Fixed Sentences (S1 and S6)

  • S1: "The Attorney-General of India is appointed by the President of India." This sentence introduces the subject and establishes the appointing authority.
  • S6: "He shall receive such remuneration as the President may determine." This sentence concludes the description by mentioning the remuneration determined by the President.

Analyzing the Jumbled Sentences (P, Q, R, S)

  • P: "In the performance of his duties, the Attorney-General shall have the right of audience in all courts in the territory of India." This describes a specific right related to performing duties.
  • Q: "The Attorney-General shall hold office during the pleasure of the President." This sentence specifies the tenure condition, linking it to the President's discretion.
  • R: "Any person qualified to be a judge of the Supreme Court can be appointed for the post." This states the eligibility criteria or qualification for the appointment.
  • S: "The duty of the Attorney-General is to give advice to the Government of India upon such legal matters, and to perform such other duties of a legal character, as may from time to time be referred to him or assigned to him by the President, and to discharge the functions conferred on him by or under the Constitution or any other law for the time being in force." This sentence comprehensively defines the primary duties and responsibilities.

Constructing the Logical Sequence

We need to find a sequence that logically follows S1 and precedes S6.

  1. Start with S1: Establishes the appointment by the President.
  2. Follow with R: Since S1 mentions appointment, the next logical step is to state the qualification required for this appointment. Sentence R provides this information ("Any person qualified to be a judge of the Supreme Court can be appointed...").
  3. Next, introduce Duties (S): After establishing who appoints and who can be appointed, it's logical to explain the core responsibilities. Sentence S details the Attorney-General's duty to advise the Government and perform legal duties assigned by the President.
  4. Elaborate on Rights (P): Sentence P further specifies a key right that comes with performing these duties – the right of audience in all Indian courts. This naturally follows the description of duties in sentence S.
  5. Specify Tenure (Q): Sentence Q addresses the tenure of the office, stating it's "during the pleasure of the President." This condition relates directly to the appointment mentioned in S1 and the President's role.
  6. Conclude with S6: This sentence nicely wraps up the conditions of service by mentioning remuneration, which is also determined by the President, aligning with the overall theme of Presidential authority established in S1 and Q.

Therefore, the logical flow is S1 -> R -> S -> P -> Q -> S6.

Identifying the Correct Sequence Option

Based on the logical arrangement derived above, the sequence is R, S, P, Q.

Let's match this with the given options:

  • Option 1: PSRQ
  • Option 2: QPRS
  • Option 3: RSPQ
  • Option 4: SRPQ

The derived sequence RSPQ matches Option 3.

Final Explanation of the Sequence RSPQ

  • S1: The Attorney-General of India is appointed by the President of India. (Introduction)
  • R: Any person qualified to be a judge of the Supreme Court can be appointed for the post. (Qualification for Appointment)
  • S: The duty of the Attorney-General is to give advice to the Government of India upon such legal matters, and to perform such other duties of a legal character, as may from time to time be referred to him or assigned to him by the President, and to discharge the functions conferred on him by or under the Constitution or any other law for the time being in force. (Detailed Duties)
  • P: In the performance of his duties, the Attorney-General shall have the right of audience in all courts in the territory of India. (Specific Right linked to Duties)
  • Q: The Attorney-General shall hold office during the pleasure of the President. (Tenure Condition)
  • S6: He shall receive such remuneration as the President may determine. (Remuneration Condition)

This sequence logically progresses from the appointment and qualifications to the duties, rights, tenure, and finally, remuneration, creating a comprehensive description.
