2 and 3. Statement 3 is false: a bill notified for joint sitting does not lapse.
- D
3 only
3 only. That is the exception that does not lapse.
Summary. Official key is (b) 1 and 2. On dissolution of the Lok Sabha, a bill pending in the Lok Sabha lapses, and a bill passed by the Lok Sabha and pending in the Rajya Sabha also lapses. If the President has already notified an intention to summon a joint sitting under Article 108, that bill does not lapse. So 3 is false.
