How many members belong to socially or economically Backward Classes of the State are nominated in Legislative Council by the Governor?

The Constitution of India provides for the nomination of members to the Legislative Council by the Governor. The number of members to be nominated is determined by the Governor, and they must belong to socially or economically backward classes of the State.

In the case of Maharashtra, the Governor nominates 8 members to the Legislative Council. Of these, 4 members must belong to socially or economically backward classes of the State.

The other options are incorrect because they do not reflect the actual number of members nominated by the Governor to the Legislative Council.
