Q. Arrange the following functionaries/officials in their respective order of precedence- 1.Governors of states (within their respective states)
2.Former Presidents, Deputy Prime Minister
3.Cabinet Ministers of the Union, Leaders of Chief Opposition in the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha
Answer: 1-2-3
Notes: The correct order of precedence is based on the hierarchy established by the Government of India. 1. Governors of states (within their respective states): They hold a important constitutional position and are the representatives of the President in the states. 2. Former Presidents, Deputy Prime Minister: Former Presidents are accorded high respect, while the Deputy Prime Minister is a key member of the Union Cabinet. 3. Cabinet Ministers of the Union, Leaders of Chief Opposition in the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha: While important, they rank below the Governors and former Presidents in terms of precedence. Thus, the correct sequence is 1-2-3.
