P and Q
Reason — The 104th Constitutional Amendment Act (2020) did away with the nomination of Anglo-Indians, so the Lok Sabha now has no nominated members. Hence P is correct and R is wrong. During the proclamation of an emergency, the term of the Lok Sabha may be extended by Parliament for one year at a time, so Q is correct. The Lok Sabha is dissolved by the President on the advice of the Prime Minister and not by the Speaker, so S is wrong.
