UPSC 2015: Consider the following statements: 1. The Legislative Council of a State in India can be larger in size than half of the Legislative Assembly of that particular State. 2.

(d)Neither 1 nor 2
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Neither 1 nor 2
Article 171 fixes the Legislative Council’s strength at a maximum of one-third of the Assembly, so it can never exceed one-half, rendering Statement 1 false. Article 182 provides that the Legislative Council elects its own Chairman; the Governor plays no role, so Statement 2 is also false. Hence neither statement is correct.
