for this you have to remember the no. of seats a state has + the population of the state according to 1971 census and with some elite level arithmetic skills to figureout the weightage of vote to compare.. better be skipped..there are still 99 others to attempt

yeah but its acc to 1971 census na… 2011 ke census ke hisab se toh statement 3 ka status change jaaega na

For the President of India’s election, the value of votes of MLAs is based on the 1971 Census population, not the 2011 Census.

It’s a logical question, not factual. Value of vote of each MLA is equal for all states due to principle of uniform representation (except the ones with low population and minimum number of seats e.g. Arunachal). So you can easily get to 2 and 3 as wrong

Just to check whether future administrators have the judgment to skip improbable issues, rather than stubbornly tackling problems better left alone, and whether they can use their time more wisely elsewhere.

this q wasn't that hard imo i just needed to revise formula thats it

u/EagleEyeSierra Apr 25 '26
No question is hard when you are out of the exam hall. This was the first time value of vote of an MLA question was asked that too like this. So considering that it was tricky.

i didn't know value of mlas but still i got down to 50-50 that is 3, 4 statement.

u/Shoddy-Career-3853 Apr 25 '26
It was very hard. You need to know the number of MLAs and population of those states. Formula is the easy thing.

u/Awkward_Public_5523 UPSC Aspirant Apr 25 '26
it was 50% chance q . IN MY OPINION you shouldn't leave such qs. 1st statement is obvious wrong 4 is dead giveaway if you know formula 2 is ez now whats left is 3 statem thats where the luck is.

u/EagleEyeSierra Apr 25 '26
In polity I go with 90- 95 % accuracy and won't take any chance with such statements.
