Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Each elected Member of Parliament receives the same presidential-election vote value, calculated by dividing the total value of the votes of elected State Assembly members by the total number of elected members of both Houses of Parliament. Article 55(2)(c) rounds a fraction exceeding one-half up and disregards other fractions. This produces parity between the States collectively and the Union; it does not assign each MP the value of one MLA or simply one vote.
