Explanation:
Statement 1 is incorrect. A Bill pending in the Lok Sabha does not lapse on its prorogation. Prorogation marks the end of a session, but pending Bills in the Lok Sabha continue to be under consideration in the next session.
Statement 2 is correct. A Bill pending in the Rajya Sabha, which has not been passed by the Lok Sabha, does not lapse on the dissolution of the Lok Sabha. The Bill remains pending and can be taken up for consideration by the newly constituted Lok Sabha.
