{'proportional representative system': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'lok sabha': [42, 3, 20, 27], 'single transferable vote': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'mps': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'votes': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'equal number': [1, 0, 0, 5], 'vote': [9, 0, 7, 8], 'different number': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'mlas': [1, 0, 0, 3], 'president': [4, 0, 2, 1], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13]}

Option 1: This option states that elected Members of Parliament (MPs) and Members of Legislative Assembly (MLAs) of states have different numbers of votes in the election of the President of India. This means that the weightage of votes given to MPs and MLAs from different states may vary.

Option 2: This option suggests that all MPs and MLAs from different states have one vote each in the election. However, this is not true as the proportional representative system ensures that the number of votes of MPs and MLAs may differ.

Option 3: This option states that all MPs and MLAs from different states have an equal number of votes in the election. However, this is not the case as the proportional representative system allows for variation in the number of votes.

Option 4: This option claims that MPs of the Lok Sabha have an equal number of votes. However, this is not accurate as the proportional representative system ensures that the votes of MPs and MLAs may differ.

Therefore, option 1 is correct. It correctly states that elected MPs and MLAs of states have different numbers of votes in the election of the President of India.
