President and Vice-President
Union and State
With reference to the election of the President of India, consider the following statements:
- The value of the vote of each MLA varies from state to state.
- The value of the vote of MPs of the Lok Sabha is more than the value of the vote of MPs of the Rajya Sabha.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
D.Neither 1 nor 2
A.1 only
C.Both 1 and 2
B.2 only
Correct Answer: Option A
The value of each MLA's vote is determined by the population of the state and the number of elected members in the legislative assembly. Since the population varies from state to state, the value of the vote of each MLA also varies.
The value of the vote of an MP is the same for both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha members. The total value of votes for all MLAs and all MPs are made as equal as practicable.
Statement 1 is correct. Statement 2 is incorrect.
Hence, only statement 1 is correct.
