General KnowledgeIndian Polity and Governance
- AThe Rajya Sabha elects more members than the Lok Sabha to the Committee on the Welfare of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes
- BThe Chairperson of the Committee on Welfare of Other Backward Classes is appointed by the Speaker of the Lok Sabha
- CMembers nominated by the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha are more in number than Members nominated by the Speaker of the Lok Sabha on the Committee on Empowerment of Women
- DThe Rajya Sabha elects more members than the Lok Sabha to the Public Accounts Committee
Explanation
Option (B) is correct: the Chairperson of the Committee on the Welfare of Other Backward Classes (30 members: 20 from Lok Sabha, 10 from Rajya Sabha) is appointed by the Speaker of the Lok Sabha. The other options misstate compositions: the SC/ST welfare committee has 20 LS + 10 RS members, the Committee on Empowerment of Women has 20 LS + 10 RS members, and the Public Accounts Committee has 15 LS + 7 RS members, so the Rajya Sabha does not elect more members in any of them.
