Answer
Lack of quorum
Reason — The quorum of the Lok Sabha is one-tenth of its total membership. This means that the House cannot conduct its proceedings and pass Bills and resolutions without the presence of at least one-tenth of its total membership. In the given case, one-tenth of 550 is 55. Since the quorum is not met, the speaker decides to adjourn the house.
