Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) I, II and III
Under the proviso to Article 368(2), amendments that affect (i) the election of the President, (ii) representation of States in Parliament, and (iii) any of the Lists in the Seventh Schedule need ratification by at least half of the State legislatures. Abolition of a State Legislative Council is done by Parliament under Article 169 and does NOT require such ratification. Hence I, II & III only.
