Who was the Speaker of the First Lok Sabha?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The first Lok Sabha’s Speaker was Ganesh Vasudev (G. V.) Mavalankar. Official tabulations of Lok Sabha speakers list G. V. Mavalankar as the Speaker of the First Lok Sabha, serving from 1952 until his death in 1956, confirming his role as the inaugural presiding officer of the House [1]. A separate textual summary also explicitly states that the Speaker of the first Lok Sabha was Ganesh Vasudev Mavalankar, corroborating the tabular record [2]. Given these official records, G. V. Mavalankar is the correct choice for the Speaker of the First Lok Sabha.
