Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The composition of the Legislative Council (Vidhan Parishad) in an Indian state is defined in Article 171 of the Constitution.
The election process involves several electorates:
- $\frac{1}{3}$ are elected by the Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs).
- $\frac{1}{3}$ are elected by members of local bodies like municipalities.
- $\frac{1}{12}$ are elected by graduates of three years' standing residing in the state.
- $\frac{1}{12}$ are elected by teachers of at least three years' standing in educational institutions not lower than secondary schools.
- The remaining $\frac{1}{6}$ are nominated by the Governor.
The question asks for the part elected by the teachers, which is one-twelfth ($\frac{1}{12}$).
