Show answer and explanation

BPSC treated this question as having no correct option (cancelled).

Explanation

The Constitution of India provides for three types of emergency—National Emergency (Article 352), President’s Rule in a State in case of failure of the constitutional machinery (Article 356), and Financial Emergency (Article 360). Hence, in the given question, only the word “emergency” has been mentioned, which makes the question defective. The Bihar Public Service Commission, in its answer key, considered option (d) as the correct answer.
