    Question

    Consider the following statements: 1. The

    Legislative Assembly of a State cannot have more than 450 and not less than 50 members chosen by direct election from territorial constituencies. 2. The number of members of Legislative Council of a State cannot exceed one-third of the total membership of the Legislative Assembly of that State subject to a minimum of 40. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
    A 1 only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2 only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both 1 and 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither 1 nor 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    • The Legislative assembly of State consists of representatives directly elected by the people on the basis of universal adult franchise. Its maximum strength is fixed at 500 and minimum strength at 60. - It means that its strength varies from 60 to 500 depending on the population size of the state. Thus statement 1 is not correct. • The maximum strength of the Legislative Council in a state with bicameral legislature is fixed at one-third of the total strength of the assembly and the minimum strength is fixed at 40. Thus statement 2 is correct.
