Reason — To be eligible for election as Vice-President, a person must be a citizen of India, must have completed 35 years of age, must be qualified for election as a member of the Rajya Sabha and must not hold any office of profit under the government. W (30 years), X (25 years) and Y (34 years) are all below the required age of 35 years. Z, aged 69 and retired, fulfils the age criterion and holds no office of profit. Hence, only Z is eligible.
