For conspiracy, the minimum number of person required is :
Answer: B
The minimum number for a conspiracy is two.
Section 120A of the IPC defines criminal conspiracy as an agreement between two or more persons to do, or cause to be done, an illegal act, or a legal act by illegal means. Since the offence consists in the agreement, at least two minds must meet; one person cannot conspire with himself.
Three is not required, and five is the minimum for an unlawful assembly under Section 141, a different concept. If one of only two alleged conspirators is acquitted, the other cannot ordinarily be convicted of conspiracy for that reason.
