Of the 80 Lok Sabha seats, 63 are general and 17 are reserved for SC/ST candidates. These allocations are based on the population of the state. Eligibility for Lok Sabha requires Indian citizenship, a minimum age of 25 years, and other qualifications as laid down by the Constitution. Rajya Sabha members must be at least 30 years old and are elected by the state legislative assembly using proportional representation. Both statements 1 and 2 are thus correct.
