a. Jammu and Kashmir
b. Bihar
c. Karnataka
d. Telangana

ANSWER: Jammu and Kashmir
 
  • The maximum strength of the council is fixed at one-third of the total strength of the assembly and the minimum strength is fixed at 40.
  • However Jammu and Kashmir is an exception to this as this rule does not apply to it. It has 36 members in its Council
  • It means that the size of the council depends on the size of the assembly of the concerned state. This is done to ensure the predominance of the directly elected House (assembly) in the legislative affairs of the state.
