Under article 100(3) of the Constitution the quorum to constitute a sitting of Lok Sabha is ________ of the total number of Members of the House.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. One Tenth.
Under Article 100(3) of the Constitution of India, the quorum required for the Lok Sabha (and Rajya Sabha) is one‑tenth of the total membership—meaning at least 10% of MPs must be present to legally commence proceedings . Failing this, it is the Speaker’s duty to either adjourn the sitting or suspend it until the requisite quorum appears . The alternative options of one‑fifth, one‑fourth, or half are incorrect, as no constitutional provision supports them. This ensures that significant parliamentary decisions are made with a legitimate minimum level of representation.
