How many Lok Sabha seats are there for the state of Meghalaya?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Two.

  • The state of Meghalaya has a total of 2 Lok Sabha seats in the Lower House of the Indian Parliament.

  • These two parliamentary constituencies are: Shillong and Tura.

  • Each constituency elects one Member of Parliament (MP) to represent the people of Meghalaya in the Lok Sabha.

  • Due to Meghalaya’s relatively small population, it has fewer seats compared to larger states like Uttar Pradesh or Maharashtra.

  • In the Rajya Sabha (Upper House), Meghalaya is allotted 1 seat, but this question pertains only to the Lok Sabha.

  • Hence, the total number of Lok Sabha seats for Meghalaya is 2.
