Among the given above options the false statement is ''A census is taken every 10 yrs and determines how many constituents a House member represents.''

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Census take place once in every ten years but the main purpose of the census is not to determine the number of the constituents of a house member.

The main purpose of the census is to determine the population and the number of people who are living in the states and on this basis of the population, the seats in the house of the representatives are given to the states according to the population. Like the most populous state is given the maximum number of seats and so on.
