(b)राज्यसभेवर अँग्लो इंडियन ह्या जमातीचे दोन सभासद नेमण्याची घटनात्मक तरतूद आहे. / There is a constitutional provision for nominating two members belonging to the Anglo-Indian Community to the Rajya Sabha.
(c)किती नामनिर्देशित सभासदांना केंद्रीय मंत्री बनवावे याबाबत राज्यघटनेचे कोणतेही बंधन नाही. / There is no constitutional bar for nominated members to be appointed as Union Ministers.
(d)नामनिर्देशित सभासद राष्ट्रपती आणि उपराष्ट्रपती अशा दोन्ही निवडणुकीत मतदान करू शकतात. / A nominated member can vote both in Presidential and Vice-Presidential elections.
Statement a is wrong because both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha can have nominated members (historically Anglo-Indians in LS, and art/science/literature members in RS, though Anglo-Indian nomination ended recently). Statement b is wrong because Anglo-Indians were nominated to Lok Sabha, not Rajya Sabha. Statement c is correct as there is no constitutional bar preventing a nominated member from becoming a Union Minister. Statement d is wrong because nominated members cannot vote in Presidential elections (though they vote in Vice-Presidential elections).
