1. A

   1 and 2 only

   1 and 2 only. True, but the Rajya Sabha’s limited role (3) is also keyed.

2. B

   2 and 3 only

   2 and 3 only. Drops Article 109, which is correctly cited.

3. C

   1, 2 and 3

   1, 2 and 3. Special procedure in Art. 109; not introduced in Rajya Sabha; RS may recommend, not reject.

4. D

   1, 3 and 4

   1, 3 and 4. Statement 4 fails: Lok Sabha need not accept Rajya Sabha’s suggestions.

Summary. Official key is (c) 1, 2 and 3. Article 109 is the special procedure for Money Bills. A Money Bill cannot be introduced in the Rajya Sabha. The Rajya Sabha has 14 days to return it with recommendations; it cannot reject. Lok Sabha may accept or ignore those recommendations — so 4 is false.
