The given statements are related to the Rajya Sabha and its composition. Let's discuss each statement in detail:
1. The fourth schedule of the constitution deals with the allocation of seats in the Rajya Sabha to the states and Union territories.
The fourth schedule of the constitution contains provisions for the allocation of seats in the Rajya Sabha. It specifies the number of seats allocated to each state and Union territory.
