How many Rajya Sabha seats are allotted to the state of West Bengal?
Answer: A
West Bengal has 16 seats in the Rajya Sabha, as allotted in the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution. Uttar Pradesh has the largest share (31), Maharashtra has 19, and states such as Assam and Odisha have fewer than West Bengal.
19 is Maharashtra's allotment, and 10 and 7 are the allotments of smaller states, so none of these three is West Bengal's.
The allocation of Rajya Sabha seats is in the Fourth Schedule: Uttar Pradesh has 31, Maharashtra 19, Tamil Nadu 18, Bihar 16 and West Bengal 16, and the smallest states and union territories have one or two. A figure of 10 or 7 would belong to a much smaller state, and 19 is the share of Maharashtra, so 16 is the one that fits West Bengal.
