Correct Answer: 1 and 3 only. Option 1 is correct as the Article 85 says the President can summon a session of Parliament “at such time and place as he thinks fit”. Option 2 is incorrect as it is by convention that the Parliament meets for three sessions in a year. The Constitution does not specify when or for how many days Parliament should meet. Option 3 correct as the minimum number of days that the Parliament is required to meet in a year is not specified. Hence, the correct answer is option C. .
