Question

Which one of the following is NOT correctly matched ?
Lok Sabha – Election Year

Answer & Solution

Answer: (Detailed Solution Below)

Option D: 7th – 1982

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “7th – 1982”.
General elections were held in India on 3 and 6 January 1980 to elect the members of the 7th Lok Sabha. The Janata Party alliance came into power in the 1977 general elections amidst public anger with the Indian National Congress (INC) and the Emergency.
Here's the correct information for each Lok Sabha and its election year:

13th Lok Sabha – 1999: Correct. The 13th Lok Sabha elections were held in 1999.
11th Lok Sabha – 1996: Correct. The 11th Lok Sabha elections were held in 1996.
9th Lok Sabha – 1989: Correct. The 9th Lok Sabha elections were held in 1989.
7th Lok Sabha – 1982: Incorrect. The 7th Lok Sabha elections were actually held in 1980, not 1982.

Therefore, "7th – 1982" is not correctly matched.
