What fraction of the members of the Rajya Sabha retires after every two years?

Single correct option

What fraction of the members of the Rajya Sabha retires after every two years?
  1. A. One-third
  2. B. One-half
  3. C. One-fourth
  4. D. One-fifth
Show answer and solution

Answer: (A) One-third

Rajya Sabha is a permanent House that is never dissolved. Each member serves a term of six years, and one-third of the members retire every second year, with elections held to fill the vacancies. This gives continuity in the upper house. One-half would imply a term of four years, and one-fourth or one-fifth do not match a six-year cycle divided into two-year steps.
