Answer 2

Some states have larger number of constituencies and in some areas it is small and it is due to the variation in the number of population.

Explanation:

• Constituencies are decided based on the number of electorates.
• The physical extent of the constituency is not taken into consideration rather the number of voters decides a constituency.
• If a smaller area of constituency has the same number of voters as that of the larger area then both are considered to be legitimate constituencies.  
• Some constituencies are earmarked for the minor subgroups in order to provide equal opportunity to all.
