Answer
Exam answer
(1) The Lok Sabha (the House of the People). (2) The Rajya Sabha (the Council of States).
Explanation
Give both the popular name and the English equivalent — they are what the Constitution itself uses, and they explain the character of each House: the Lok Sabha represents the PEOPLE directly, the Rajya Sabha represents the STATES. Note that Parliament consists of the President AND the two Houses — a point worth remembering, since questions sometimes ask for the full composition.
