Answer
(A) is true, but (R) is false
Explanation: The number of Lok Sabha members alloted to the each State is based on the population (size) of the State.
Reason (R) is false because the Rajya Sabha can have a maximum of 250 members, but not all of them are elected from the states. Out of 250, 238 are elected, and 12 are nominated by the President.
