Pakistan Studies MCQ #36768

  1. Question 1

    Q1. In a “apply the schedule” task you check whether a province kept the same number of general National Assembly seats after the big 2010 rebalancing. Which province is correctly described for post–Eighteenth Amendment Punjab general seats in many official tables?

    • A) 148 general seats for Punjab
    • B) 51 general seats for Punjab
    • C) 75 general seats for Punjab
    • D) 141 general seats for Punjab

    Answer: 141 general seats for Punjab

    Explanation: Following the Eighteenth Amendment of 2010, which revised the formula for seat allocation in the National Assembly based on population, Punjab's general seats were set at 141 out of a total of 272 general seats in the National Assembly. This reflects Punjab's dominant share of Pakistan's population while maintaining the constitutional balance among provinces.
