Answer 2

constituency is the smallest territorial unit from where representatives are elected. All residents of a particular constituency choose from among the same set of candidates.

Seats denote the number of persons elected/to be elected.

In India, only one representative gets elected from each constituency. Thus the number of seats in any election is equal to the number of constituencies and both the words can be used interchangeably. There are 543 Lok Sabha constituencies implies there are 543 seats in the Lok Sabha.

In some countries multiple persons are allowed to be elected from each constituency. In such cases the number of seats would obviously more than the number of constituencies.

The constituencies are different for Lok Sabha (LS) and Legislative Assembly (LA) elections. The LA constituencies may not necessarily be sub-divisions of the LS constituencies. If Delhi has 7 LS constituencies and 70 LA constituencies it does not mean there are 10 LA constiturncies per LS constituency in Delhi.
