Statement I: The Chief Information Commissioner can be removed by the President on the ground of proved misbehavior or incapacity.
Statement II: The removal can only take place after the Supreme Court, on a reference made to it by the President, holds an inquiry and recommends the removal.
Explanation
The Chief Information Commissioner enjoys security of tenure but can be removed by the President on grounds of proved misbehavior or incapacity. To ensure fairness, the RTI Act requires that any such removal can only happen after the Supreme Court, upon a reference from the President, has conducted a formal inquiry and confirmed the validity of the charges.

II. Leheriya

I. Mothda
II. Leheriya
III. Ekdali (dot pattern)
Which of the following represents the correct order of these variations based on the complexity of their line patterns, from simple straight lines to intersecting lines?
Explanation
Based on the complexity of their patterns, the correct order begins with Ekdali, which consists of simple repeated dots. This is followed by Leheriya, which features parallel diagonal wavy lines. Finally, Mothda represents the most complex of these three, as it involves intersecting diagonal lines that create a checkered or small square effect, requiring a two-step tying and dyeing process.
