Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: 25

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: A) 25 šŸ“š Explanation: The quorum required to conduct a formal meeting of the Rajya Sabha is strictly fixed at one-tenth of the total membership of the House under Article 100(3). Since the maximum strength of the Rajya Sabha is 250, the quorum value is exactly 25 members.

This rule ensures that decisions are made with proper representation.
