Answer 1

The correct option is C Both statements are true.

Both direct and indirect elections are part of the Indian political system. These elections play a key role in shaping our political system and ensuring good governance of the country. Indirect elections to Rajya Sabha are proportional in nature. The number of seats won by parties to Rajya Sabha from a state tend to be proportional to the percentage of seats in the state assembly. The Presidential and Vice-Presidential elections also follow the proportional system of elections.
