Representation of states in Rajya Sabha according to population shows which mixed principle?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A mix of federal representation and population-based proportion

Correct answer: A. Rajya Sabha is the Council of States, so it represents the states at the Union level. This is the federal principle: states have a voice in national law-making. At the same time, Indian states do not all receive exactly the same number of Rajya Sabha seats. Larger populations generally receive more seats, so the system also includes population-based representation. A is correct because it identifies both principles working together. B is wrong because equal representation would give every state the same number of seats, which is not the general arrangement in India. C is wrong because Rajya Sabha is not a body of judges; it is a legislative chamber. D is wrong because local bodies such as municipalities and panchayats do not constitute the Rajya Sabha. A useful memory cue is: Rajya Sabha represents states, but seat strength is broadly linked to population.
