Question

The term of office of the Vice-President is of
A. 4 years
B. 5 years
C. 6 years
D. 7 years

Answer 1

Hint: A term of office is the length of time in a specific elected office a person serves. There is a defined limit in many jurisdictions on how long office terms may be before the officeholder has to be re-elected. Some jurisdictions exercise term limits, setting the maximum number of terms that may be held in a specific office by an individual.

Complete answer:
The vice president is a government or business officer who is below the rank of the president (managing director). It may also refer to executive vice presidents, implying that the vice president is in the government, university, or company's executive branch. The vice president is called the deputy president in some nations. The abbreviation VP can be used in everyday speech. In government, a vice president is an individual whose primary responsibility is to act in the president's place in the event of the death, resignation, or incapacity of the president. Vice-presidents are either elected jointly with the president as their running mate or, more rarely, appointed independently following the president's election. The Vice-President has five years in office. It is possible to re-elect the Vice-President any number of times. However, by death, resignation, or removal, the office may be terminated earlier. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

So, option B is the correct option.

Note: The current Vice President of India is Venkaiah Naidu. He defeated UPA candidate Gopalkrishna Gandhi in an election on 5 August 2017. However, if the President dies in office and the Vice-President takes over as President, he may continue to serve as President for a maximum period of six months during which the new President is elected.
