Answer
Exam answer
(c) 1/10.
Explanation
The quorum — the minimum number of members who must be present for the House to transact business — is ONE-TENTH of the total membership of that House. If there is no quorum, the Presiding Officer adjourns the House. The figure is worth memorising with an example: in a Lok Sabha of 545, the quorum is about 55. Papers often give the strength and ask you to work it out.
In words
1/10.
