Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 50

The correct answer is 50.

• A motion of no confidence means that a person in a position of responsibility is no longer considered fit to hold that position.

• Motion of no confidence in India can be introduced only in the Lok Sabha i.e. the lower house of the Parliament of India.
• The motion is acknowledged for discussion when a minimum of 50 members of the house support the motion.
• If the motion carries, the House debates and votes on the motion.
• If the majority of the members of the house vote in favour of the motion, the motion is passed and the Government is bound to vacate the office.
