Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a political party needs 50% of the total seats in the Lok Sabha to form a government, how many seats does it need if there are 545 total seats?
  • Step 1: Understand that the Lok Sabha has a total of 545 seats.
  • Step 2: To find out how many seats are needed to have more than 50%, divide the total seats by 2.
  • Step 3: Calculate 545 divided by 2, which equals 272.5.
  • Step 4: Since you can't have half a seat, round up to the next whole number, which is 273.
  • Step 5: To form a government, a political party needs at least one more seat than half, so they need 273 seats.
