At a time, President's rule can be imposed on a state for a maximum period of

1 year

5 years

2 years

4 years

Let’s break this down:

- President’s Rule under Article 356 can be imposed if a state government can’t function as per the Constitution.

- Here’s the thing: President’s Rule is first imposed for 6 months.

- It can be extended in 6-month chunks.

- But—there’s a hard limit. You cannot keep a state under President’s Rule forever.

- The maximum is 3 years, but there’s more:

- After the first year, extensions need special conditions: a national emergency or Election Commission certifying election issues.

- Let’s look at your options:

- Option 1: 1 year — No, not the max. It’s usually the first automatic cycle.

- Option 2: 5 years — Way too long.

- Option 3: 2 years — Still not it.

- Option 4: 4 years — Nope, over the limit.

- The correct answer is 3 years, which actually isn’t an option given here.
