💡 Solution & Explanation
Under Article 107 of the Constitution, a legislative bill pending exclusively in the Rajya Sabha that has not been voted upon or passed by the Lok Sabha does not lapse when the Lok Sabha is dissolved. Bills originating and pending in the Lok Sabha, however, lapse upon its dissolution. This provision protects upper house legislative continuity from lower house electoral cycles.
