A. 2 only✓ Correct Answer
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3
💡 Solution & Explanation
Statement 2 is correct because Article 76 grants the Attorney General the right of audience in all courts across India while discharging duties. Statement 1 is incorrect because his remuneration is determined by the President, not Parliament. Statement 3 is incorrect because the Attorney General is not a government servant in the strict sense and is not debarred from private legal practice, provided it does not conflict with government interests. The Solicitor General assists him.
