(B) (ii)→(i)→(iv)→(iii)
(C) (iii)→(iv)→(i)→(ii)
(D) (iv)→(iii)→(ii)→(i)

Explanation:

Chronological ordering is high-yield in Group 1 Prelims. For Parliament — Lok Sabha & Rajya Sabha, the correct order follows the standard policy evolution pattern: Foundation → Reform → Consolidation → Modern Application.

⚡ EXAM TRICK: Chronological order: use the rough guide Foundation(pre-1947) → Reform(1947–1991) → Consolidation(1991–2000) → Modern(2000+) to place Parliament — Lok Sabha & Rajya Sabha events correctly.

Which of the above statements is/are CORRECT?

(A) 1 only
(B) 2 only
✅ (C) Both 1 and 2
(D) Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation:

⚡ EXAM TRICK: Multi-statement questions: eliminate options with absolute language (‘only A’, ‘only B’) unless one statement has a clear factual error. For Parliament — Lok Sabha & Rajya Sabha, both statements hold true.

⚡ EXAM TRICK: ‘All of the above’ is correct ~40% of the time in TNPSC. For Parliament — Lok Sabha & Rajya Sabha, verify all three before selecting D to avoid traps.
