Answer:
D) Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation:
-
Statement 1 Analysis:
- The assertion that a winning candidate needs “at least 50% of the votes polled” is incorrect.
- India’s First Past the Post (FPTP) system declares the candidate with the most votes as the winner, regardless of percentage.

Statement 2 Analysis:
- The claim that the Speaker must be from the majority party and the Deputy Speaker from the opposition is incorrect.

- The Lok Sabha elects the Speaker via a simple majority vote of all members.
- There is no constitutional or statutory mandate dictating party affiliation for the Speaker or Deputy Speaker.
- Conventionally, the Speaker is from the ruling party, and the Deputy Speaker is from the opposition, but this is not a legal requirement.

Conclusion:
Both statements are incorrect, making the correct choice:
D) Neither 1 nor 2
