The quorum requirements in the Rajya Sabha is
  1. a.25
  2. b.50
  3. c.100
  4. d.126

Answer: (A) 25

The quorum to conduct business in the Rajya Sabha is 1/10th of the total membership. The Rajya Sabha has 250 members (238 elected + 12 nominated), so 10% of 250 = 25 members must be present. This is the minimum attendance required for the House to transact business.
