Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If the total number of votes in the Lok Sabha is 545 and a bill requires a simple majority to pass, how many votes are needed for the bill to pass?
  • Step 1: Understand that a simple majority means more than half of the total votes.
  • Step 2: Find out how many total votes there are, which is 545.
  • Step 3: Divide the total votes by 2 to find half: 545 / 2 = 272.5.
  • Step 4: Since we can't have half a vote, round up to the next whole number, which is 273.
  • Step 5: Therefore, to pass the bill, you need at least 273 votes.
