Option 4 : Neither 1 nor 2

The correct answer is Neither 1 nor 2.

Legislative Council:
Under Article 171 of the Constitution, the size of the State Legislative Council cannot be more than one-third of the membership of the State Legislative Assembly.
However, the size of the legislative council cannot be less than 40 members. Hence statement 1 is incorrect.
The tenure of a Member of the Legislative Council (MLC) is six years, with one-third of the members retiring every two years.
It is a permanent body and is not subject to dissolution.
The tenure of a Member of the Legislative Council (MLC) is six years, with one-third of the members retiring every two years.
The Chairman of the Legislative Council is elected by the members from amongst itself. Hence statement 2 is incorrect.

Members of the legislative council:
- One-third of the MLCs are elected by the state’s MLAs,
- Another 1/3rd by a special electorate comprising sitting members of local governments such as municipalities and district boards,
- 1/12th by an electorate of teachers and another 1/12th by registered graduates.
- The remaining members are appointed by the Governor for distinguished services in various fields namely, literature, science, art, cooperative movement and social service.
