Answer
Exam answer
(a) X.
Explanation
Test each person against the rules. The minimum age for the Rajya Sabha is 30 years, so W at 25 is disqualified (30 is the figure to remember — the Lok Sabha requires only 25). Y is disqualified because an undischarged insolvent cannot be a member. Z is disqualified because a member must be a citizen of India. X, aged 45 and with no disqualification, is eligible — being an industrialist is no bar at all.

X.
