    C 5 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 6 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Constitution Article 67: The Vice President holds office for five years from the date on which he enters upon his office. The Vice President can be re-elected any number of times. However, the office may be terminated earlier by death, resignation or removal. The Constitution does not provide a mechanism of succession to the office of Vice President in the event of an extraordinary vacancy, apart from a re-election. However, the Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha can perform the Vice President's duties as the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha in such an event.
