खालील विधाने विचारात घ्या.

वरीलपैकी कोणती विधाने बरोबर आहेत ?

The correct answer is Option B (Only ii, iii and iv).

Key Points:
• Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha) - Articles 170 & 172:
• Statement i is INCORRECT: The Legislative Assembly is NOT a permanent chamber; its normal term is 5 years and it is subject to dissolution. (The Legislative Council / विधान परिषद is the permanent chamber).
• Statement ii is correct: Under Article 170(1), members of the Legislative Assembly are chosen by direct election from territorial constituencies on the basis of adult suffrage.
• Statement iii is correct: Under Article 170(1), the maximum strength of a Legislative Assembly is fixed at 500 and the minimum strength at 60 (with statutory exceptions for Goa, Mizoram, Sikkim).
• Statement iv is correct: Under the proviso to Article 172(1), while a Proclamation of Emergency is in operation, the duration of the Assembly may be extended by Parliament for a period not exceeding one year at a time, and not extending in any case beyond a period of six months after the Proclamation has ceased to operate (requiring fresh elections within that period).
• Therefore, statements ii, iii, and iv are correct.
• Hence, Option (2) Only ii, iii and iv is the correct answer.
• Key Takeaway: Assembly has a 500 max / 60 min limit, direct election, and post-emergency extension valid up to 6 months; it is not a permanent house.
