The number of members of the Lok Sabha chosen by direct election is currently
Answer: D
The answer is cannot be known from this excerpt.
The excerpt says the present strength is 545 and that up to 2 members may be nominated from the Anglo-Indian community, but it does not say how many of the current 545 were actually nominated. Without that figure the number elected directly cannot be worked out from the text.
545 would be right only if no one were nominated, 543 only if both nominated seats were filled, and 530 is the maximum from the States alone. The question restricts answers to the excerpt, so outside knowledge (that 543 seats are elected) cannot be used.
