- 2. A bill pending in the Rajya Sabha which has not been passed by the Lok Sabha shall not lapse on the dissolution of the Lok Sabha.
A1 only
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 bills do not lapse merely on prorogation.
★A bill pending in the Lok Sabha lapses on dissolution, not on prorogation.
★Statement 2 is correct, since a bill pending in the Rajya Sabha and not passed by the Lok Sabha does not lapse on the Lok Sabha's dissolution.
★Such a bill stays alive in the Rajya Sabha.
★So only the second statement is accurate.
★Thus only statement 2 is correct.
