Explanation:

1st statement is wrong. The Proclamation under Article 356 must be laid before both Houses of Parliament within two months from the date of proclamation. It is within two months and not within one month. Other statements are correct. The President can assume to himself the functions of the State Government when President’s Rule is imposed in a State. The Proclamation will be in force for six months if it is approved by both Houses of Parliament.
