Granular Mechanics of Constitutional Schedules

Only the second and third statements are accurate. The President and Governors are in the Second Schedule for salaries, but their oaths are in separate Articles (60 and 159), not the Third Schedule. The CAG is listed in both. The first statement is false because the Vice-President's oath is not in the Third Schedule (it's in Article 69), though he receives a salary under the Second Schedule as Chairman of the Rajya Sabha. The fourth statement is false because the Second and Third Schedules can be amended flexibly by a simple majority, bypassing the strict Article 368 procedure.

The Assertion is true; administrative schedules are adaptable. Reason 1 correctly supports this, as the Second and Third Schedules can be amended via a simple majority (outside the scope of Article 368). Reason 2 is legally false; the President's oath was omitted from the Third Schedule and placed in Article 60 because it is a rigid, core part of the Constitution, specifically to prevent it from being easily altered by a simple majority.

The third identification is correct. The oaths for Union Ministers (including the PM) and Supreme Court Judges (including the CJI) are located in the Third Schedule, which can be legally amended by a simple majority. However, the President's highly specific oath is codified in the main text under Article 60. Altering a main constitutional Article requires a special majority under Article 368, making a simple majority alteration illegal.

Three claims are valid (Statements 2, 3, and 4). The President/Governors are not in the Third Schedule; the CAG is in both; and these schedules are amended by simple majority (exempt from Art 368). Statement 1 is false because the Vice-President's oath is in Article 69, not the Third Schedule.
