Answer
Exam answer
(c) 20.
Explanation
The Lok Sabha has a maximum strength of 550 elected members — not more than 530 from the States and not more than 20 from the Union Territories. So the missing figure is 20. The arithmetic is the question: 550 - 530 = 20. Note that the two seats formerly reserved for nominated Anglo-Indian members were abolished by the 104th Amendment, so the Lok Sabha now has no nominated members at all.
In words
