In this article, we study a family of quantum homogeneous spaces, namely, \(SO_q\left( \mathcal {N}\right) /SO_q\left( \mathcal {N}-2\right) \) . By applying a two-step Zhelobenko branching rule, we show that the \(C^*\) -algebras \(C\left( SO_q\left( \mathcal {N}\right) /SO_q\left( \mathcal {N}-2\right) \right) \) are generated by the entries of the first and the last rows of the fundamental matrix of the quantum groups \(SO_q\left( \mathcal {N}\right) \) . We then construct a chain of short exact sequences, and using that, we compute K-groups of these spaces with explicit generators. Invoking homogeneous \(C^*\) -extension theory, we show q-independence of some intermediate \(C^*\) -algebras arising as the middle \(C^*\) -algebra of these short exact sequences. As a consequence, we get the q-invariance of \(SO_q(3)\) , \(SO_q(5)/SO_q(3)\) , \(SO_q(4)/SO_q(2)\) , and \(SO_q(6)/SO_q(4)\) .
