What is the quorum for a meeting of the Committee on Petitions of the Rajya Sabha?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B

Explanation

The Committee on Petitions of the Rajya Sabha is a standing committee consisting of 10 members who are nominated by the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha. According to Rule 149 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in the Council of States (Rajya Sabha), the quorum to constitute a meeting of the Committee is five.

The committee's primary function is to consider petitions on Bills or any matter of general public interest and to report to the House. While the Lok Sabha's Committee on Petitions consists of 15 members (where the quorum is typically one-third, i.e., 5), the Rajya Sabha rules explicitly specify the number five as the quorum for its 10-member committee.
