Question

The quorum required to hold meetings of the legislative chambers is what fraction of the total membership of the House?

• A. 1/3
• B. 1/4
• C. 1/6
• D. 1/10

Answer 1

The correct option is D 1/10

The quorum required to hold meetings of the legislative chambers is one-tenth of the total membership of the House. Article 100 of the Constitution of India stipulates that at least 10% of the total number of members of the House must be present to constitute the quorum to constitute a meeting of either House of Parliament. For example, if the House has the total membership of 250, at least 25 members must be present for the House to proceed with its business.
