Correct Answer: 1/3 of the total members

Solution : The correct answer is 1/3 of the total members.

The main goal of this retirement rule is to maintain the Rajya Sabha's standing as a permanent house. There will be a sizable number of opposition members in the Rajya Sabha even if a party wins a huge majority in the Lok Sabha elections. At the end of every two years, one-third of the Rajya Sabha's members retire. After their terms are up, the members can run for re-election. A Rajya Sabha member has been in office for six years.
