Question

Under which Articles of the Constitution of India, seats are reserved for SCs and STs in the Lok Sabha and the State Legislature Assemblies in proportion to their population ?

This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2020 Paper 2 Philosophy Question Paper (27-Dec-2020)
The correct answer is

Article 330 and 332

Article 330 reserves seats for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in the House of the People (Lok Sabha), and Article 332 provides the same in the Legislative Assemblies of the States. Under both, the number of reserved seats bears, as nearly as may be, the same proportion to total seats as the SC/ST population bears to the total population (Art 334 sets the time limit for this reservation).

The other pairs are unrelated: Art 338 creates the National Commission for Scheduled Castes and Art 339 concerns Union control over administration of Scheduled Areas and welfare of STs; Art 146 deals with officers and servants of the Supreme Court and Art 244 with administration of Scheduled and Tribal Areas; Art 19 guarantees freedoms and Art 49 protects monuments of national importance.

Hence, the answer is Article 330 and 332.
