Correct Answer: a simple majority of member present and voting. In order to pass any Bill, the government requires support from both the Houses. Under article 108 in Indian constitution, there is a provision of joint sitting for finalising ordinary bills/financial bills and not money bills/amendment bills. The joint sitting is administered using rules and process carried by Lok Sabha where the bill required to be passed from majority of members of both the houses in accordance with simple voting; with this, option A is correct. Option B and C are incorrect as both lead to supermajorities which includes 3/5 as 2/3 and 3/4.
