How is the number of reserved seats determined for each state and Union territory?
The number of reserved seats for each state and Union territory is determined by the following steps:

1. Calculate the proportion of the Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe population in a state or Union territory to its total population.
2. Multiply this proportion with the total number of seats allocated to that state or Union territory in the House of the People (Lok Sabha).
3. Round off the result to the nearest whole number, which will be the number of reserved seats for the respective class in that state or Union territory.
