Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 245 members

In our country, 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). 

Rajya Sabha:

  • The Rajya Sabha functions primarily as the representative of the states of India in the Parliament.
  • The Rajya Sabha can also initiate legislation and a bill is required to pass through the Rajya Sabha in order to become a law.
  • It, therefore, has an important role of reviewing and altering (if alterations are needed) the laws initiated by the Lok Sabha.
  • The members of the Rajya Sabha are elected by the elected members of the Legislative Assemblies of various states.
  • There are 233 elected members plus 12 members nominated by the President.

Thus, we can conclude that the Rajya Sabha can have at most 245 members.
