The correct answer is Option D (Statements a, b, c and d are correct).

Key Points:
• The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) is the oldest parliamentary financial committee in India:
• Statement a is correct: PAC was first set up in 1921 under the provisions of the Government of India Act, 1919 (Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms).
• Statement b is correct: In post-independence India, prior to 1954, it comprised 15 members drawn exclusively from the Lok Sabha.
• Statement c is correct: In 1954, its membership was expanded to 22 members (15 elected from Lok Sabha and 7 nominated/elected from Rajya Sabha) through proportional representation.
• Statement d is correct: Although it includes members from Rajya Sabha, it remains constitutionally and procedurally classified as a Lok Sabha Committee under the direct direction and control of the Speaker of the Lok Sabha.
• Therefore, all statements (a, b, c, and d) are correct.
• Key Takeaway: PAC was created in 1921 under the 1919 Act, expanded to 22 members (15 LS + 7 RS) in 1954, and functions under the Lok Sabha Speaker.
