Q1. How many members are nominated to the Rajya Sabha by the President of India?
Explanation
The President of India nominates 12 members to the Rajya Sabha. These members are chosen from persons with special knowledge or practical experience in literature, science, art and social service. The figure 6 is too low and does not match the constitutional provision. The figure 18 is higher than the nominated strength allowed for the Rajya Sabha. The figure 10 is also incorrect, as it is not the number fixed for presidential nominations to the Upper House. Therefore, the correct count is 12.
