The elections to the Lower House of the Parliament of India, held in 2019, constituted the
- (a)14th Lok Sabha
- (b)15th Lok Sabha
- (c)16th Lok Sabha
- (d)17th Lok Sabha
Correct — D, 17th Lok Sabha. The general election held in April–May 2019 elected the members of the 17th Lok Sabha, which first met in June 2019. Counting back, the 16th Lok Sabha followed the 2014 election and the 15th the 2009 election, confirming that 2019 gave the 17th.
- (a)14th Lok Sabha — The 14th Lok Sabha was constituted after the 2004 general election, not the 2019 one.
- (b)15th Lok Sabha — The 15th Lok Sabha followed the 2009 general election, well before 2019.
- (c)16th Lok Sabha — The 16th Lok Sabha was constituted after the 2014 general election; the 2019 election produced the 17th.
The Lok Sabha (House of the People) is the Lower House of India's Parliament, whose members are directly elected for a normal term of five years. Each general election constitutes a new, numbered Lok Sabha; the first was elected in 1951–52.
This is a chronology-recall item. Because Lok Sabha elections are numbered in sequence, knowing the number of any recent one lets you fix the others. The 2014 election gave the 16th Lok Sabha, so the next general election, in 2019, gave the 17th.
- The Lok Sabha is directly elected for a normal term of five years.
- The 2019 general election constituted the 17th Lok Sabha, which met from June 2019.
- The 16th Lok Sabha followed the 2014 election; the 15th followed 2009.
- The first Lok Sabha was elected in the general election of 1951–52.
- Miscounting the sequence and picking the 16th (which was 2014).
- Confusing the election year with the Lok Sabha number.
A current-affairs / chronology recall — match the 2019 general election to its Lok Sabha number.
