Question

Which pair is not correctly matched?

1. A. Allocation of seats in the council of state - 4th schedule
2. B. Forms of oath - 3rd schedule
3. C. Administration of scheduled areas - 6th schedule (Correct answer)
4. D. Union List - 7th schedule

Correct Answer

Option C — Administration of scheduled areas - 6th schedule

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is Administration of scheduled areas - 6th schedule.

Key Points

• This pair is incorrectly matched, which is what the question asks for.
• The administration and control of Scheduled Areas and Scheduled Tribes is dealt with under the Fifth Schedule, not the Sixth.
• The Sixth Schedule provides for the administration of tribal areas in the four north-eastern states — Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram — through Autonomous District Councils (ADCs) and Regional Councils with legislative, judicial and financial powers.
• The other three pairs are correctly matched: the Fourth Schedule deals with the allocation of seats in the Council of States (Rajya Sabha), the Third Schedule contains the forms of oaths and affirmations, and the Seventh Schedule contains the Union, State and Concurrent Lists.

Exam Tip

• memorise all 12 Schedules in order — Schedules 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 together account for the vast majority of schedule-based questions.
