B2 only ✓ Correct
CBoth 1 and 2
DNeither 1 nor 2
Correct answer: (B) 2 only — Only statement 2 is correct, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Only statement 2 is correct, so that is the answer.
★Statement 1 is wrong, since the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha is the Vice-President and not a member of the House.
★Only the Deputy Chairman is a member of the Rajya Sabha.
★Statement 2 is correct, since nominated members cannot vote for the President.
★But nominated members can vote in the Vice-Presidential election.
