Solution

The correct option is B Only 2
The percentage of women in the Lok Sabha has gone up by only a small margin from 4.4% in 1951 to 11% in 2014. The Constitution (One Hundred and Eighth Amendment) Bill, 2008 was introduced in Rajya Sabha with an aim to reserve 33% seats in Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies for women. However, bill lapsed with the dissolution of the 15th Lok Sabha. Hence there is no such Constitutional provision. Thus statement 1 is wrong.
