We present a study of a singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay $$Lambda_c^+to{}pK_S^0K_S^0$$ and a Cabibbo-favored decay $$Lambda_c^+to{}pK_S^0eta$$ based on 980 $$rm fb^{-1}$$ of data collected by the Belle detector, operating at the KEKB energy-asymmetric $$e^+e^-$$ collider. We measure their branching fractions relative to $$Lambda_c^+to{}pK_S^0$$: $$mathcal{B}(Lambda_c^+to{}pK_S^0K_S^0)/mathcal{B}(Lambda_c^+to{}pK_S^0)={(1.48 pm 0.08 pm 0.04)times 10^{-2}}$$ and $$mathcal{B}(Lambda_c^+to{}pK_S^0eta)/mathcal{B}(Lambda_c^+to{}pK_S^0)={(2.73pm 0.06pm 0.13)times 10^{-1}}$$. Combining with the world average $$mathcal{B}(Lambda_c^+to{}pK_S^0)$$, we have the absolute branching fractions: $$mathcal{B}(Lambda_c^+to{}pK_S^0K_S^0) = {(2.35pm 0.12pm 0.07 pm 0.12 )times 10^{-4}}$$ and $$mathcal{B}(Lambda_c^+to{}pK_S^0eta) = {(4.35pm 0.10pm 0.20 pm 0.22 )times 10^{-3}}$$. The first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively, while the third ones arise from the uncertainty on $$mathcal{B}(Lambda_c^+to{}pK_S^0)$$. The mode $$Lambda_c^+to{}pK_S^0K_S^0$$ is observed for the first time and has a statistical significance of $$>10sigma$$. The branching fraction of $$Lambda_c^+to{}pK_S^0eta$$ has been measured with a threefold improvement in precision over previous results and is found to be consistent with the world average.
