Which of the following executive powers is exercised by the President of India?
Appointing the Prime Minister and, on his advice, other Union Ministers
The President of India is the constitutional head of the Union executive, and the executive power of the Union is vested in the President under Article 53.
Among the President's core executive functions is the appointment of the Prime Minister, and then, on the advice of the Prime Minister, the appointment of the other Union Ministers.
Conducting elections to Parliament is the duty of the Election Commission, and framing the Supreme Court's rules of procedure is done by the Court itself, so these are not the President's executive powers in this sense.
Hence, the executive power exercised by the President is appointing the Prime Minister and, on his advice, the other Union Ministers.
