Under Article 75 (5) a person who is not a member of any house of Parliament can be appointed as a Minister subject to his becoming a member of either House within a period of :
Answer: C
The period is 6 months.
Article 75(5) provides that a Minister who for any period of six consecutive months is not a member of either House of Parliament shall cease to be a Minister at the end of that period. So a non-member can be appointed but must become a member of either House within six months. Article 164(4) lays down the same rule for State Ministers.
One year, three months and nine months do not appear in the Article.
