The Speaker of the Lok Sabha acts as the ex-officio Chairman of which of the following committees of the Lok Sabha? 1. Business Advisory Committee 2. Rules Committee 3. Committee of Privileges Select the correct answer using the code given below:

Explanation

The Speaker of Lok Sabha is the ex-officio chairperson of the Business Advisory Committee (which has 15 members nominated by the Speaker) and the Rules Committee (which also has 15 members including the Speaker). Therefore, statements 1 and 2 are correct. However, for the Committee of Privileges, the 15 members are nominated by the Speaker, but the Speaker is not its ex-officio chairperson (usually, a member appointed by the Speaker chairs this committee). Therefore, statement 3 is incorrect.
