Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If the Speaker of the Lok Sabha is elected by a majority of the members, and there are 545 members, how many votes are needed for a simple majority?
  • Step 1: Understand that a simple majority means more than half of the total votes.
  • Step 2: Find out the total number of members, which is 545.
  • Step 3: Calculate half of 545 by dividing it by 2. This gives you 272.5.
