RAS question
The Rajasthan Vidhan Sabha (Legislative Assembly) has how many seats?
Correct answer: (B) 200.
The Rajasthan Vidhan Sabha has 200 seats.
Explanation
The Rajasthan Vidhan Sabha, or Legislative Assembly, has 200 seats. The official Rajasthan Legislative Assembly website confirms this by listing the Assembly's party-wise representation with "Total Seats: 200". The reservation break-up is 25 seats reserved for Scheduled Castes and 25 for Scheduled Tribes. That makes 200 the operative strength an aspirant must remember for state polity questions on Rajasthan's unicameral legislature, rather than a rounded or comparative figure.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) 250 overstates the Assembly's strength; the official Assembly site lists total seats as 200.
- (C) 225 is not the Rajasthan Vidhan Sabha's seat count; the verified total is 200 seats.
- (D) 175 understates the Assembly's strength, because Rajasthan's Legislative Assembly has 200 seats.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan state polity, especially the composition of the Legislative Assembly and reserved representation. It recurs in RAS because Assembly strength is a basic institutional fact used in questions on elections, representation and state governance.
