Q1. What is the minimum quorum required for a Gram Sabha meeting under the Panchayati Raj system?
Explanation
A Gram Sabha meeting needs the minimum required presence of members so that its proceedings are valid. Under the relevant Panchayati Raj rule tested here, that minimum quorum is one-tenth of the members. One-fourth, one-sixth, and one-eighth are larger fractions and are not the prescribed minimum for this meeting. The question asks specifically for the minimum quorum, not a desirable attendance level or a higher threshold for some other body. Hence one-tenth fits the rule and the official answer key.
