Q.	The President of the Union of India has the same constitutional authority as the –
A.	British Monarch
B.	President of USA
C.	President of Pakistan
D.	President of France
Answer» A. British Monarch
Explanation: The President is the formal head of the executive, legislature and judiciary of India. India achieved independence from the United Kingdom, on 15 August 1947, as a Dominion within the Commonwealth of Nations. However, this status was only a temporary measure, as India's political leadership did not consider it appropriate for the new country to share a monarch with the former colonial power. Under the new constitution, India became a republic. The office of Governor-General and role of the King were swept aside, being replaced by the new office of President of India.
