    Which of the following statements accurately describes

    the Rajya Sabha? Statements:  I. The Rajya Sabha is a permanent body that cannot be dissolved.  II. The Rajya Sabha has the same authority as the Lok Sabha in legislative matters concerning the Union List.
    A Only II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Both I and II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Neither I nor II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only I Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The Rajya Sabha, or the Upper House of India's Parliament, is indeed a permanent body and does not dissolve, with onethird of its members retiring every two years. However, it does not have the same legislative powers as the Lok Sabha, particularly in financial matters like Money Bills where it can only recommend amendments, which the Lok Sabha may accept or reject.
