Solution

The correct option is D Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation:

In India, the President is elected through a system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote and the voting is by secret ballot.

Statement 1 is incorrect: Every member of Parliament (elected) i.e. both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha possess the same vote value.

The vote value of the elected Member of Parliament = Total value of votes of all MLAs of all states / Total number of elected members of Parliament.

Statement 2 is incorrect: The vote value of an elected MLA varies from one state to another state as the value depends on the population of a state.

The vote value of an MLA = Total Population of the State / Total number of elected members in the state legislative assembly
