Discussion
Of the total number of members of a legislative council, ___________ are elected by the members of local bodies in the state like municipalities, district boards etc.
Answer: C
The share elected by local bodies is 1/3.
Article 171(3) fixes the composition of a Legislative Council: one-third elected by members of local bodies such as municipalities and district boards, one-twelfth by graduates, one-twelfth by teachers, one-third by the members of the Legislative Assembly, and the rest (about one-sixth) nominated by the Governor.
1/12 is the graduates' or the teachers' share, so it is the near miss. 1/2 and 1/5 are not shares in the article.
