- DThe members of Lok Sabha also vote in the election of the members of Rajya Sabha
Correct answer
A. A majority of members of Rajya Sabha are elected by a system of proportional representation by means of single transferable vote
Step-by-step solution
The Rajya Sabha consists of a maximum of members, out of which members are elected by the elected members of the State Legislative Assemblies. The election is held in accordance with the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote. The remaining members are nominated by the President. Thus, a majority of the members of the Rajya Sabha are elected by this system.
The Deputy Chairperson of the Rajya Sabha is elected by the members of the Rajya Sabha from amongst themselves, not nominated by the President.
The Lok Sabha can be dissolved by the President before the completion of its five-year term on the advice of the Council of Ministers.
The members of the Lok Sabha do not vote in the election of the members of the Rajya Sabha; only the elected members of the State Legislative Assemblies do.
