Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
If a bill is passed in the Lok Sabha with a majority of 60 votes and the total votes cast were 300, what is the minimum number of votes required to pass the bill?
Step 1: Understand that to pass a bill, it needs more votes in favor than against it.
Step 2: Calculate half of the total votes cast. Since the total votes are 300, divide 300 by 2.
Step 3: 300 divided by 2 equals 150.
Step 4: To have a majority, you need one more vote than half. So, add 1 to 150.
Step 5: 150 plus 1 equals 151. This means you need at least 151 votes to pass the bill.
Majority Voting – Understanding the concept of majority, which is more than half of the total votes cast.
