A1 and 2
B3 and 4
COnly 2 ✓ Correct
D2 and 3
Correct answer: (C) Only 2 — Only item 2 is correct, so the answer is only 2.
Explanation
★Only item 2 is correct, so the answer is only 2.
★The Rajya Sabha is presided over by the Vice-President, who is not a member.
★Item 1 is wrong, because states are represented in proportion to population, not equally.
★Item 3 is wrong, because one-third of its members retire every two years, not three.
★Item 4 is wrong, because for ordinary bills the Rajya Sabha has equal power with the Lok Sabha.
★Members serve six-year terms, like the US Senate.
★So only the non-member-presiding statement is correct.
