C. 5
D. 8
Answer» B. 2
Explanation: The Constitution provides that the maximum strength of the House be 552 members. Up to 525 members represent of the tenitorial constituencies in States, up to 20 members represent the Union Territories and no more than two members from Anglo-Indian community can be nominated by the President of India if he or she feels that the community is not adequately represented. House seats are apportioned among the states by population in such a manner that the ratio between that number and the population of the State is, so far as practicable, the same for all States.
