- A. 268 general seats, 62 women seats and 12 non-Muslim seats
- B. 270 general seats, 60 women seats and 12 non-Muslim seats
- C. 270 general seats, 62 women seats and 10 non-Muslim seats
- D. 272 general seats, 60 women seats and 10 non-Muslim seats
Explanation
The traditional constitutional composition was 272 general seats, 60 seats reserved for women and 10 seats reserved for non-Muslims, making 342 seats in total. This figure reflects the pre-FATA-merger arrangement and should be dated because later constitutional amendments changed the general-seat count.
