Solution:

• The Lok Sabha is composed of representatives of people chosen by direct election on the basis of Universal Adult Suffrage.
• Maximum strength of the House is 552 members – 530 members to represent the States, 20 members to represent the Union Territories, and 2 members to be nominated by the President from the Anglo-Indian Community.
• At present, the strength of the House is 545.
• The term of the Lok Sabha, unless dissolved, is five years from the date appointed for its first meeting.
• However, while a proclamation of emergency is in operation, this period may be extended by Parliament by law for a period not exceeding one year at a time and not extending in any case, beyond a period of six months after the proclamation has ceased to operate.
