Check each pairing against the article text. Article 61 lays down the procedure for impeachment of the President, so A matches 2. Article 67(b) provides for removal of the Vice-President by a resolution of the Rajya Sabha passed by an effective majority and agreed to by the Lok Sabha, so B matches 3. Article 94 deals with the Speaker and Deputy Speaker ceasing to hold office, and clause (c) covers removal of the Speaker by a resolution passed by a majority of all then members of the Lok Sabha, so C matches 4. Article 90 covers the Deputy Chairman of Rajya Sabha ceasing to hold office, including removal by a resolution of the Rajya Sabha, so D matches 1.

• Option A: B-4 and C-3 are wrong. Article 67(b) concerns the Vice-President, not the Speaker.
• Option B: A-3 is wrong. Article 61 is the President's impeachment, not the Vice-President's removal.
• Option D: A-4 and B-1 are wrong. Articles 61 and 67(b) have nothing to do with the Speaker or the Deputy Chairman.

Core concept: removal of constitutional functionaries. The Speaker and Deputy Chairman are removed by a resolution of their own House. The Vice-President is removed by Rajya Sabha with Lok Sabha concurrence, and the President only by impeachment. Mains angle: the different removal safeguards for presiding officers and how they protect institutional independence.

Trap: aspirants mix up Article 90 (Deputy Chairman) with Article 94 (Speaker), or assume the Vice-President is removed by impeachment like the President.
