{'indian parliament': [11, 0, 5, 3], 'quorum': [1, 0, 3, 0], 'joint sitting': [5, 0, 6, 11], 'members': [37, 11, 44, 71], 'total number': [0, 0, 3, 0], 'twelfth': [0, 0, 1, 4], 'memebers': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'house': [15, 3, 9, 18]}

The quorum for a Joint Sitting of the Indian Parliament is determined by the number of members required to be present in order for the session to be valid and for business to be conducted. In this case, the correct answer is option 3, which states that the quorum is one-tenth of the total number of members of the House.

Let`s analyze the other options to understand why they are not correct:

- Option 1 states that the quorum is one-twelfth of the total number of members of the House. This is incorrect as the correct answer is one-tenth.

- Option 2 states that the quorum is one-sixth of the total number of members of the House. Again, this is incorrect as the correct answer is one-tenth.

- Option 4 states that the quorum is two-thirds of the total number of members of the House. This is also incorrect as the correct answer is one-tenth.

In summary, the quorum for a Joint Sitting of the Indian Parliament is one-tenth of the total number of members of the House.
