पर्याय

• (I) is true, but (II) is false.

• (I) is false, but (II) is true.

• Both (I) and (II) are true, but (II) is not the correct explanation of (I).

• Both (I) and (II) are false.

Answer 1

(I) is true, but (II) is false.

Explanation:

Statement I is true because seats in the Lok Sabha are allocated to each state strictly on the basis of its population size to ensure uniform representation. Statement II is false because the maximum 250 members of the Rajya Sabha are not entirely elected from the states; the Constitution mandates that 12 members must be nominated by the President, leaving only 238 seats to be filled through elections by the States and Union Territories.
