Detailed Solution

The given statement is false. There shall be no more than 250 members of the Rajya Sabha, including 238 members who represent the States and Union Territories and 12 members who have been nominated by the President. The Rajya Sabha is an eternal body, so it cannot be disbanded. But every two years, a third of the group's members resign and are replaced by people who were just elected. Each member is given a six-year term upon selection. The vice president of India presides over the Rajya Sabha in a formal capacity. A member of the House is chosen to serve as vice-chairman as well. The senior-most minister, a Rajya Sabha member, is chosen by the Prime Minister to serve as Leader of the House.
The correct statement is the Rajya Sabha members' terms of office are six years.
