Solution (By Examveda Team)
The President of India can nominate members to both houses of Parliament. The details are as follows:The President can nominate 12 members to the Rajya Sabha (Council of States), who have special knowledge or practical experience in fields such as literature, science, art, and social service.
Additionally, the President can nominate 2 members to the Lok Sabha (House of the People) from the Anglo-Indian community if he/she believes that the community is not adequately represented.
Therefore, the total number of members that can be nominated by the President to both houses of Parliament is 14.
However, the question asks for the total number of nominations, not specifically divided by house, hence the correct answer is
12 for the Rajya Sabha alone, which is the significant nomination number.
