The correct answer is option 2: population of the state. The representation of any state in the Rajya Sabha, which is the upper house of the Parliament of India, is based on the population of the state. Each state is allocated a certain number of seats in the Rajya Sabha, with more populous states having more seats. This is done to ensure that the larger states have a higher representation in the Rajya Sabha, as they have a higher population. The idea behind this system is to provide a balance of power and equal representation to all states, regardless of their geographic size or number of representatives in the Lok Sabha (the lower house of Parliament).
