1.

The lower house of the Parliament is also known by the name:1. Assembly2. Legislative Council3. Rajya Sabha4. Lok Sabha

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Lok Sabha

The correct answer is Lok Sabha.

In our country, the Parliament consists of two Houses.

  • The two Houses are known as the Council of States (Rajya Sabha) and the House of the People (Lok Sabha).
  • The President of India is a part of the Parliament, although she is not a member of either House.
  • That is why all laws made in the Houses come into force only after they receive the assent of the President.
  •  It might appear that the Rajya Sabha is more powerful, for sometimes it is called the ‘Upper Chamber’ and the Lok Sabha the ‘Lower Chamber’.
  • But this does not mean that Rajya Sabha is more powerful than Lok Sabha.
  • This is just an old style of speaking and not the language used in our Constitution.
