Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

According to the rules governing the dissolution of the Lok Sabha, the status of pending bills is determined by their progress in the legislative process. Statement 1 is incorrect because a bill pending in the Rajya Sabha that has not been passed by the Lok Sabha does not lapse [t2][t3]. Statement 2 is correct as any bill pending in the Lok Sabha, whether it originated there or was transmitted from the Rajya Sabha, lapses upon dissolution [c1][c2][t1]. Statement 3 is also correct; a bill that has been passed by both Houses but is awaiting the President's assent does not lapse [t2][t3]. Similarly, bills returned by the President for reconsideration or those where a joint sitting was notified before dissolution also remain active [c3][t3]. Therefore, only statements 2 and 3 are correct.
