Detailed Solution

The given statement is true.
The Rajya Sabha is represented as a panel of states. The greatest number of people who can be a part of the Rajya sabha is 250 people (238 elected, 12 appointed). Members are selected for staggered six-year terms, with roughly one-third of the 233 designates up for election every two years in odd-numbered years. Seats are distributed in a degressive proportion to each state's or union territory's population, giving smaller states a slight advantage over larger states. Because of their historically high population, some states have more representatives than states with a higher population.
