Which one of the following is the largest (areawise) Lok Sabha constituency?
- AKangra
- BLadakhCorrect
- CKachchh
- DBhilwara
Explanation
The correct answer is Ladakh. In terms of geographical area, Ladakh is the largest Lok Sabha constituency in India. It covers an area of approximately 173,266 square kilometers. While Kachchh is the second largest, Ladakh remains significantly larger in size. This classification is based on total land area, not the number of voters. In contrast, Malkajgiri in Telangana is the largest constituency by number of electors. Therefore, for an area-based question, Ladakh is the right choice.
