Correct Answer: Neither 1 nor 2. Legislative Council is a permanent house having the strength of Council members will not be more than one-third the strength of state assembly. In case of smaller states, the minimum strength of Legislative Council can be 40. Since there exists fixed strength of members in Legislative council which limits to 1/3rd that of legislative Assembly, so Statement 1 is incorrect. This eliminates option A and C. Statement 2 is also incorrect as Chairman of Legislative Council is elected by council of members and not nominated by Governor. So with this, we see that option D is only correct as both the statements are incorrect.
