Question

A. 542
B. 525 from the state and 20 from union territories
C. 530 from the states and 20 from union Territories and 2 nominated by president from union territory
D. 555

Answer 1

Hint:
The lower house of India's bicameral parliament is the Lok Sabha or House of the People whereas the upper house of India's bicameral parliament is the Rajya Sabha or Council of States. Adult Universal suffrage is the method of electing the members of the Lok Sabha. The Boundary Delimitation commission of India redraws the Lok Sabha constituencies' boundaries.

Complete answer:
The maximum strength of the house allotted by the constitution of india is 552. Out of 552; 530 members are elected from states and 20 members are elected from Union Territories. But the present strength of Lok Sabha is 543.

The other options are wrong because they have different strengths of Lok Sabha. So 542, 545 and 555 are not possible.

Therefore the correct answer is Option (C).

Additional Information:
