Q. Which pair is not correctly matched?
a) Administration of scheduled areas – 6th schedule
b) Forms of oath – 3rd schedule
c) Allocation of seats in the council of state – 4th schedule
d) Union List – 7th schedule
Correct Answer: a)
Question from BPSC PT 71, 2025
Correct Answer: a)
Explanation:
– 5th Schedule: Deals with the administration and control of Scheduled Areas and Scheduled Tribes in most states of India.
– 6th Schedule: Deals specifically with the administration of tribal areas in Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, and Mizoram through Autonomous District Councils.
Therefore, “Administration of scheduled areas – 6th schedule” is incorrectly matched; it should be the 5th Schedule.
The other pairs are correctly matched:
– 3rd Schedule: Forms of oath or affirmation.
– 4th Schedule: Allocation of seats in the Council of States (Rajya Sabha).
– 7th Schedule: Union, State, and Concurrent Lists (including the Union List).
