Solution

Members of the Lok Sabha are elected through direct elections, where citizens aged 18 and above vote for their representatives in their constituencies. The candidate who receives the highest number of votes is elected as an MP. In contrast, Rajya Sabha members are mainly elected through indirect elections by the elected MLAs of State Legislative Assemblies. In addition, the President nominates some members for their special knowledge or contributions in different fields.
