Which of the following Articles of the Constitution mentions that "the Vice-President shall be ex officio Chairman of the Council of the States and shall NOT hold any other office of profit"?
Answer: B
The Article is Article 64.
Article 64 says that the Vice-President shall be ex officio Chairman of the Council of States and shall not hold any other office of profit. Article 61 deals with impeachment of the President, Article 66 with the election of the Vice-President and Article 68 with the time of elections.
So Articles 61, 66 and 68 are wrong.
The text of Article 64 reads that the Vice-President shall be ex officio Chairman of the Council of States and shall not hold any other office of profit. If he acts as President, he does not perform the duties of Chairman, as laid down in the same Article.
