Explanation:

The Governor has two types of powers and functions – firstly, functions exercised with the aid and advice of the Chief Minister and Council of Ministers; secondly, discretionary powers.

Discretionary powers are exercised by the Governor with his own individual judgment or without the aid and advice of the Chief Minister and Council of Ministers. Sending report to the President about the failure of the constitutional machinery in a State is a discretionary power exercised by the Governor. It is not exercised in accordance with the aid and advice of the Chief Minister and the Council of Ministers.Article 163 deals with discretionary powers of the Governor. The Constitution provides that the Governor himself can decide the matters in which he can exercise discretionary powers.
