Answer

As per the Constitution, there can be a maximum of 552 members in Lok Sabha.
General elections to Lok Sabha are held after every five years and members are directly elected by the people.
To ensure equal representation to all sections of the community, some seats are reserved for members belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
