Solution
The correct option is B 6 years
Rajya Sabha is a permanent House and is not subject to
dissolution. However, one-third Members
of Rajya Sabha retire after every second year.
A member who is elected for a full term serves for a period of six
years. The election held to fill a
vacancy arising otherwise than by retirement of a member on the expiration of
his term of office is called Bye-election. A member elected in a bye-election
remains member for the remainder of the term of the member who had resigned or
died or disqualified to be member of the House under the Tenth Schedule.
