Question

Any majority where at least 2/3rd members should be present for voting is called a ______ majority.

• A. Special
• B. Simple
• C. Effective
• D. Absolute

Answer 1

The correct option is A Special

Certain parts of the constitution can be amended by a special majority consent of the members of Parliament. Special Majority means two third members should accept. For example, if out of the 245 members in Rajya Sabha, if only 150 are present and voting, then the special majority required would be 101. This type of majority is used for most of the Constitutional amendment bills.
