Answer
P and Q
Explanation — An ordinary bill can originate in either of the two houses. However, in the case of a deadlock between the two Houses over a bill, a Joint Session is held. Due to Lok Sabha's superior strength, the will of the Lok Sabha prevails.
Money bills can only originate in the Lok Sabha, and once passed the Rajya Sabha can only delay them for 14 days, after which they are deemed to have been passed.
