Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) Not more than 20 representatives of Union Territories
Article 81 limits the Lok Sabha to (i) not more than 530 elected representatives of States, (ii) not more than 20 elected representatives of Union Territories, and (iii) up to 2 nominated Anglo-Indians (now discontinued). The slot ‘X’ therefore corresponds to “not more than 20 representatives of Union Territories”; the other options describe categories that are not counted in this numerical ceiling.
