Explanation:

The constitution does not specify the strength of UPSC and leaves it to the discretion of the President.
Also, UPSC is a constitutional body and independent in the sense that it does not function under any ministry.
Apart from the given way of removal, the members of UPSC can also be removed by the President in case of insolvency, infirmity of mind/body or engagement in paid employment outside the duties of office.
