Which of the following is not elected in accordance with the system of proportional representation by means of single transferable vote, according to the Indian Constitution ?
Answer: D
The one not so elected is the Speaker of Lok Sabha.
Under Article 93, the Lok Sabha chooses its Speaker from among its own members by a simple majority vote of the House. No proportional representation is involved.
The other three are elected by proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote: the President by an electoral college of elected MPs and MLAs (Article 55), the Vice-President by members of both Houses of Parliament (Article 66), and the representatives of the states in the Rajya Sabha by the elected members of each state's Legislative Assembly (Article 80).
