After a constitutional amendment, the Senate seats increase by \(20\%\) and the House of Representatives seats decrease by \(10\%\). Originally the House has 300 seats and the Senate 100 seats. A party holds 150 seats in the House and 45 seats in the Senate, retaining the same proportion of seats after the change. A bill requires a simple majority in each house. Will the party be able to pass the bill after the amendment? Explain.

Answer Options

A. Yes, the party will be able to pass the bill since it holds a majority in the House (135 vs 136 needed) and the Senate (54 vs 61 needed).
B. No, the party will not be able to pass the bill because it falls short of a majority in the House (135 vs 136 needed) while it meets the Senate requirement (54 vs 54 needed).
C. No, the party will not be able to pass the bill because it falls short of a majority in both the House (135 vs 137 needed) and the Senate (54 vs 62 needed).
Correct Answer D. No, the party will not be able to pass the bill because it falls short of a majority in both the House (135 vs 136 needed) and the Senate (54 vs 61 needed).
