Explanation:

- Let's break it down step by step. The question helps us find that the Rajya Sabha seats of Bihar are equivalent to 3 more than 1/3rd of the Lok Sabha seats of Tamil Nadu.

- Tamil Nadu has 39 Lok Sabha seats. One-third of 39 is 13. So, Bihar has 13 + 3 = 16 Rajya Sabha seats.

- The total seats (Lok Sabha + Rajya Sabha) of Bihar add up to 55.

- Since the Rajya Sabha has 16 seats, the Lok Sabha seats for Bihar must be 55 - 16 = 39.

- Maharashtra has 48 Lok Sabha seats.

- So, the percentage by which Bihar's Lok Sabha seats are less than Maharashtra's is:

\left(\frac{48 - 39}{48}\right) \times 100 = 18.75\%

- Option 2: 18.75% is correct.
