  • A.a simple majority of members present and voting
  • B.Three-fourths majority of members present and voting
  • C.Two-thirds majority of the House

Answer: A

At a joint sitting a bill is passed by a simple majority of the members present and voting.

Article 108 provides for the joint sitting to resolve a deadlock between the Houses; the Speaker of the Lok Sabha presides. Since the Lok Sabha is much the larger House, its will normally prevails. It has been used only three times.
