Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a bill is passed in the Lok Sabha with a majority of 300 votes out of 545, what is the minimum number of votes required to pass the bill?
  • Step 1: Understand that the Lok Sabha has a total of 545 members.
  • Step 2: To find the majority, we need to calculate half of the total members.
  • Step 3: Divide 545 by 2. This gives us 272.5.
  • Step 4: Since we cannot have half a vote, we round up to the next whole number, which is 273.
  • Step 5: To pass a bill, you need more votes than half, so you add 1 to 272. This gives you 273.
  • Step 6: Therefore, the minimum number of votes required to pass the bill is 273.
  • Majority Voting – Understanding the concept of majority in legislative voting, which requires more than half of the total votes.
  • Calculation of Majority – Calculating the minimum number of votes needed to achieve a majority in a given total number of votes.
