Correct option is B
The correct answer is (b) 1/3
Explanation:
• According to Article 171 of the Indian Constitution, the total number of members of the Legislative Council of a state shall not exceed one-third (1/3) of the total number of members of the Legislary Assembly of that state.
• This ensures that the Legislative Council remains smaller than or equal to the Legislary Assembly in size, preserving the structure of the state legislature.
• The Legislary Assembly is the lower house, and the Legislary Council is the upper house in a bicameral system of governance.
• This rule applies to states that have a bicameral legislature such as Bihar, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Uttar Pradesh.
Information Booster:
• The Legislary Council acts as a revising chamber and does not have the same powers as the Legislary Assembly, particularly in financial matters.
• The Legislary Assembly is usually the more powerful house in terms of legislative control and decision-making.
