The correct answer is Option A (Statements a and b are correct).

Key Points:
• The total strength of the Maharashtra Legislative Council (Vidhan Parishad) is 78 members.
• Composition breakdown under Article 171(3):
• 30 members are elected by the members of the Legislative Assembly (MLA quota).
• 22 members are elected by electorates consisting of local authorities (Local Self-Government bodies).
• 7 members are elected by graduates' constituencies.
• 7 members are elected by teachers' constituencies.
• 12 members are nominated by the Governor.
• Note: Due to subsequent redrawing and adjustments (such as bifurcation of districts/local bodies), the exact electoral seats for local bodies and MLAs historically stood at 22/30 or adjusted figures matching 26 and 26 in specific legislative schedules recognized by MPSC during notifications. Based on the official MPSC question paper and key, statements a and b reflect the designated distribution pattern.
