Question

Seats are allotted to various states in the Lok Sabha on the basis of ______________.

• A. their size and resources
• B. their population
• C. their size, resources and population
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B their population

Every state is allotted a number of seats in the Lok Sabha in such a manner that the ratio between that number and its population is same for all the states of India. The provision does not apply for states having a population of less than 6 million.

Each state is divided into territorial constituencies in such a manner that the ratio between the population of each constituency and the number of seats allotted to it remain the same throughout the state.
