What is the maximum strength of the Rajya Sabha?

Explanation

1. 01

   The ceiling is 250: up to 238 representatives of the States and Union Territories, plus 12 members nominated by the President.

2. 02

   The 12 are nominated for special knowledge or practical experience in literature, science, art and social service.

3. 03

   238 is the elected part alone, which is why it appears as a distractor.
