वरीलपैकी कोणती विधाने योग्य आहेत ?

The correct answer is Option C (A and C).

Key Points:
• Provisions Regarding State Legislative Council:
• Statement A is correct (Article 171(1)): Total membership of the Legislative Council shall not exceed one-third of the total membership of the Legislative Assembly, and shall in no case be less than 40.
• Statement B is incorrect: Composition of the Legislative Assembly is under Article 170, while the composition of the Legislative Council is under Article 171.
• Statement C is correct: Governor's nomination under Article 171(3)(e) & (5) (literature, science, art, co-operative movement, social service) is a matter of executive discretion whose propriety/bonafides cannot be questioned in court unless palpably unconstitutional.
• Statement D is incorrect: The Legislative Council is far weaker than the Rajya Sabha (the Council can only delay ordinary bills by max 4 months and has no equal power in constitutional amendment or joint sitting).
• *Verdict: * Statements A and C are correct.
• Key Takeaway: Article 171 limits Legislative Council strength to one-third of the Assembly; Rajya Sabha is much stronger than the Council.
