{'prescribed minimum age': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'rajya sabha': [50, 3, 22, 40], 'lok sabha': [42, 3, 20, 27], 'parliament': [15, 1, 3, 8], 'years': [1, 0, 0, 2]}

To become a Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha), the prescribed minimum age is 30 years. The Rajya Sabha is the upper house of Parliament in India.

To become a Member of Parliament (Lok Sabha), the prescribed minimum age is 25 years. The Lok Sabha is the lower house of Parliament in India.

Therefore, option 2, which states that the minimum age to be a Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha) is 30 years and the minimum age to be a Member of Parliament (Lok Sabha) is 25 years, is the correct answer.

Option 1 states that the minimum age for both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha is 35 years and 30 years respectively, which is incorrect.

Option 3 states that the minimum age for both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha is 25 years for each, which is incorrect.

Option 4 states that the minimum age for both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha is 30 years for each, which is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
