Answer
P and R
(S is also correct)
Reason — The President summons each House of Parliament, and the Speaker of the Lok Sabha presides over the joint sittings of both Houses. Statement Q is incorrect because the Constitution only requires that not more than six months shall elapse between two sessions, though normally there are three sessions in a year.
