1. Three years
2. Four years
3. Five years
4. Six years

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Six years

The correct answer is Six years.

• The term of the members selected to Rajya Sabha is six years. 
• However, every second year, one-third of the members retire and there are new entrants. 
• Thus, the house is never empty and therefore is called a 'Permanent House'.
• Rajya Sabha is a permanent body and is not subject to dissolution.

• In order to be chosen a member of Parliament, a person must be a citizen of India and not less than 30 years of age in the case of Rajya Sabha and not less than 25 years of age in the case of Lok Sabha.
• Rajya Sabha is the upper house of the Parliament.
  • The Constitution fixes the maximum membership to 250.
