Industrial Relations and Labour LawsTrade Unions Act, 1926
- AAll the unions
- BUnions A, B, C and D only
- CUnions B, C and D only
- DUnions B and D only
Explanation
Section 4 of the Trade Unions Act, 1926 requires, for registration, the lesser of 10% of the workmen or 100 workmen; here 10% of 1,100 is 110, so 100 members suffice. Unions A (100), B (370), C (110) and D (275) meet this, while union E (80) does not. Hence A, B, C and D only, option B.
