Question

As a result of the partition under the Mountbatten Plan of 3rd June, 1947, the membership of the Constituent Assembly was reduced to

  1. A. 255 members
  2. B. 387 members
  3. C. 299 members
  4. D. 490 members

Answer

Correct option: C - 299 members

The Constituent Assembly originally had 389 members before partition. After the Mountbatten Plan of June 3, 1947 and the partition of India, Muslim League members from Pakistan's territory ceased to be members. This reduced the membership of the Constituent Assembly to 299 members, who went on to frame and adopt the Constitution of India on November 26, 1949.
