What is the maximum strength of the Lok Sabha according to the Constitution?
A
522
B
652
C
552
D
450
Correct Option:
C
Explanation
When this paper was framed, the standard constitutional-GK answer was 552: up to 530 elected members from the states, 20 from Union Territories, and historically up to 2 nominated Anglo-Indian members. The Anglo-Indian nomination provision ceased to operate in 2020, so the present constitutional ceiling under Article 81 is effectively 550 elected members. Thus, option (3) is the answer expected by this older paper, but it should not be memorized as the present position.
