💡 Solution & Explanation
A lame-duck session refers to the last session of the existing Lok Sabha after a new Lok Sabha has been elected, where members who could not get re-elected are called lame-ducks. Quorum is fixed under Article 100 as one-tenth of the total number of members of each House. A censure motion can be moved against an individual minister or a group of ministers for failure to act. Prorogation terminates a session of the House by an order of the President under Article 85, which differs from dissolution as it does not affect pending bills.
