Which of the following Article provides for qualifications of members of Legislative Council?

The correct answer is: A. Article 170

Article 170 of the Indian Constitution provides for the qualifications of members of the Legislative Council of a State. It states that a person shall not be qualified to be a member of the Legislative Council unless he:

(a) is a citizen of India;
(b) is not less than 30 years of age; and
(c) is, in the opinion of the Election Commission, not disqualified for being a member of the Legislative Council on the ground of corrupt or illegal practices.

The article also provides that the President may, by order, make provision for the disqualification on the ground of mental or physical infirmity of a person who is a member of the Legislative Council.

The other options are incorrect because:

• Article 171 provides for the composition of the Legislative Council of a State.
• Article 172 provides for the powers, privileges and immunities of the Legislative Council of a State.
• Article 173 provides for the procedure in the Legislative Council of a State.
