What is the quorum required to constitute a meeting of either House of Parliament?

  1. One-tenth of total membership
  2. One-third of total membership
  3. One-half of total membership
  4. Two-thirds of total membership

Answer: One-tenth of total membership

Article 100(3): Quorum for either House is one-tenth of total membership (including presiding officer). If quorum lacking, presiding officer must adjourn House or suspend meeting. This ensures minimum participation for valid proceedings while preventing obstruction by absentees.
