Discussion
Which of the following statements are true about Election Commission of India?
(i) Conduct elections to parliament, State Legislatures and to the office of President and the Vice-President
(ii) India's First Woman Chief Election Commissioner Ms. V.S. Ramadevi
(iii) India's first Chief Election Commissioner Mr. S.P. Sen Varma
Answer: C
Statements (i) and (ii) are true. The Election Commission conducts elections to Parliament, the State Legislatures and the offices of President and Vice-President, and V.S. Ramadevi was India's first woman Chief Election Commissioner (1990).
Statement (iii) is false: India's first Chief Election Commissioner was Sukumar Sen (1950-58), while S.P. Sen Verma was the sixth. Hence (i) and (ii) only.
Sukumar Sen served as Chief Election Commissioner from 1950 to 1958 and organised the first two general elections, so any statement making another person the first holder is wrong.
