Answer

Exam answer

(a) P and Q.

Explanation

Test each statement. P is true — since the 104th Amendment ended the nomination of Anglo-Indian members, the Lok Sabha has no nominated members at all, which also makes R false. Q is true — during a National Emergency its term may be extended by one year at a time. S is false — only the PRESIDENT can dissolve the Lok Sabha, on the advice of the Prime Minister; the Speaker merely presides over it. So P and Q. Note that it is the RAJYA SABHA that has 12 nominated members, nominated for distinction in literature, science, art and social service.
