The correct answer is 35 years.

  • Trick: Minimum age required for the post of Vice President and President = 35. In Hindi, we call them as UpRashtrapati and Rashtrapati. 35 = Patis in Hindi.
  • Articles 63-73 deal with the qualifications, election and removal of Vice-President of India.
  • To hold that post one must be at least 35 years of age and not hold any office of profit.
