The correct statements are that the Prime Minister is appointed by the President while other Ministers are appointed on the Prime Minister's advice, and that it is the Prime Minister's duty under Article 78 to communicate all cabinet decisions to the President.
The statement regarding appointments accurately reflects Article 75(1), where the President appoints the Prime Minister and appoints other ministers upon the Prime Minister's advice. Additionally, the statement detailing the Prime Minister's duty to communicate administrative and legislative decisions to the President accurately aligns with Article 78(a).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate the statement concerning the appointment procedure of the Prime Minister and Ministers.
Statement is correct under Article 75(1).
The President appoints the Prime Minister directly and appoints other Union Ministers based on recommendations from the Prime Minister.
2
Analyze collective responsibility and the legislative body to which the Council of Ministers answers.
Statement claiming collective responsibility to Rajya Sabha is incorrect under Article 75(3).
Article 75(3) specifies collective responsibility strictly to the Lok Sabha (House of the People).

Examine the constitutional duties of the Prime Minister towards the President.
Statement is correct under Article 78(a).
Article 78 outlines the administrative duties of the Prime Minister to keep the President informed.

Review the ceiling on the strength of the Council of Ministers under the 91st Constitutional Amendment.
Statement claiming exclusion of Prime Minister and limit based on total Parliament strength is incorrect under Article 75(1A).
The 15% limit includes the Prime Minister and is calculated against the total strength of the Lok Sabha only, not Parliament.
