How many members of the Lok Sabha must support a motion of ‘no confidence’ in the government, before it can be admitted by the Speaker ?

20
25
35
50

The correct answer is (c) 35.

A motion of no confidence is a motion that is brought against the government in the Lok Sabha. If the motion is passed, the government is dissolved and a new election is held.

To be admitted by the Speaker, a motion of no confidence must be supported by at least 10% of the total number of members of the Lok Sabha. This is equivalent to 35 members, as the Lok Sabha currently has 543 members.

Option (a) is incorrect because 20 is less than 10% of the total number of members of the Lok Sabha.

Option (b) is incorrect because 25 is less than 10% of the total number of members of the Lok Sabha.

Option (d) is incorrect because 50 is more than 10% of the total number of members of the Lok Sabha.
