How many members of the Legislative Council of Jammu and Kashmir retire in every two years?

One-fourth
One-fifth
Two-third
One-third

The correct answer is: A. One-fourth.

The Legislative Council of Jammu and Kashmir is a unicameral legislature consisting of 36 members. Of these, 24 members are elected by an electoral college consisting of members of the Legislative Assembly, members of the Parliament, and chairpersons of the district development councils. The remaining 12 members are nominated by the Governor.

One-fourth of the elected members retire every two years. This means that 6 members retire every two years.

The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the correct number of members who retire every two years.
