Question from UPPSC Prelims 2025
Explanation:
Statement 1 is correct: The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) presents/submits its reports to the Lok Sabha (through the Speaker). These reports are then laid on the Table of the Rajya Sabha, but the primary submission is to the Lok Sabha.
Statement 2 is incorrect: The PAC has 22 members—15 from the Lok Sabha and 7 from the Rajya Sabha. It does not have 15 members from the Rajya Sabha.
Therefore, only Statement 1 is correct.
