Answer 1

Answer: (A)

it will be taken to have been passed by both the houses

Option A.

In money bills, Lok Sabha enjoys a pre-eminent position. A money bill cannot be introduced in the Rajya Sabha and it has no power to reject or amend it. Rajya Sabha has to return the money bill, passed by Lok Sabha within the duration of 14 days. If in case it doesn't return it will be sent to the President for his assent.
