How many seats does Madhya Pradesh have in the Lok Sabha?
- A.25
- B.29
- C.40
- D.48
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is B, 29. Madhya Pradesh sends twenty nine members to the Lok Sabha and elects eleven members to the Rajya Sabha, while its own Vidhan Sabha has two hundred and thirty seats. The number of Lok Sabha seats of a state has been frozen on the basis of the census of 1971 until the first census taken after the year 2026, so these figures have stayed unchanged for decades.
Option A, twenty five, is the strength of Rajasthan in the Lok Sabha. Option C, forty, is the strength of Bihar. Option D, forty eight, is the strength of Maharashtra, the second largest after Uttar Pradesh, which sends eighty. A quick way to hold the Madhya Pradesh figures together is the set twenty nine, eleven and two hundred and thirty for the Lok Sabha, the Rajya Sabha and the Vidhan Sabha.
