Question

Accepted Answer

1. The question asks which Article of the Indian Constitution deals with the election of the President.

2. $Article\ 54$ specifically provides for the "election of the President" and describes the manner of election by the elected members of both Houses of Parliament and of the Legislative Assemblies of the States (and the representation of Union territories), using a system of proportional representation by means of a single transferable vote.

3. For contrast: $Article\ 72$ deals with the President's power to grant pardons, $Article\ 74$ relates to the Council of Ministers and their aid and advice to the President, and $Article\ 66$ deals with the election of the Vice-President.

Therefore the correct answer is $Article\ 54$, option (2).
