Answer 1

When the Lok Sabha is dissolved the Speaker vacates his office and seeks reelection.

When the Lok Sabha is dissolved, the Speaker does not leave office immediately. The Speaker will remain in office until the newly elected Lok Sabha meets to elect a new Speaker. As a result, the Speaker continues to act even after the Lok Sabha is dissolved.
