Correct Answerसही उत्तर
A. Rajya SabhaA. राज्यसभा
Explanationव्याख्या
The Rajya Sabha is popularly referred to as the House of Elders.
It is the Upper House of Parliament and is constitutionally called the Council of States.
Its members must be at least 30 years old, compared with the minimum age of 25 years for Lok Sabha membership.
The Rajya Sabha is also a permanent House whose members retire by rotation.
These features distinguish it from the Lok Sabha.
The expression House of Elders is a descriptive designation rather than the formal constitutional name of the institution.
राज्यसभा को लोकप्रिय रूप से हाउस ऑफ एल्डर्स कहा जाता है। यह संसद का उच्च सदन है और इसका संवैधानिक नाम राज्य परिषद है। इसके सदस्य की न्यूनतम आयु 30 वर्ष होनी चाहिए, जबकि लोकसभा सदस्यता के लिए न्यूनतम आयु 25 वर्ष है। राज्यसभा एक स्थायी सदन भी है, जिसके सदस्य क्रमिक रूप से सेवानिवृत्त होते हैं। ये विशेषताएं इसे लोकसभा से अलग करती हैं। हाउस ऑफ एल्डर्स एक वर्णनात्मक नाम है, न कि इस संस्था का औपचारिक संवैधानिक नाम।
