Answer
Exam answer
(d) The members of both the houses vote to choose the Speaker..
Explanation
The Speaker is elected by the members of the LOK SABHA ALONE, from among themselves — the Rajya Sabha has no part in it. So statement (d) is false. The other three are true. Contrast the Vice-President, who IS elected by the members of both Houses and who presides over the Rajya Sabha as its ex-officio Chairman — that is the confusion this question sets out to catch.
