Answer
Exam answer
(c) Six.
Explanation
An Ordinance is promulgated by the President when Parliament is not in session. Once Parliament reassembles, the Ordinance ceases to operate at the end of SIX WEEKS unless both Houses approve it before then. The common error is to think it lapses the moment Parliament meets — it does not; the six weeks give Parliament time to consider it. If the two Houses reassemble on different dates, the six weeks run from the later date.
