The correct answer is (a) 1/3.
The Legislative Council is the upper house of the state legislature in India. It is a permanent body and is not subject to dissolution. The number of members in the Legislative Council varies from state to state, but it is always one-third of the total number of members in the Legislative Assembly. The Governor nominates one-third of the members of the Legislative Council. The remaining two-thirds of the members are elected by members of local bodies, graduates, teachers, and other special constituencies.
Option (b) is incorrect because it is the number of members of the Legislative Council that are elected by members of local bodies. Option (c) is incorrect because it is the number of members of the Legislative Council that are elected by graduates. Option (d) is incorrect because it is the number of members of the Legislative Council that are elected by teachers.
