Question

Correct — A, 'Tribunals - Part XI' is the mismatched pair. Tribunals are dealt with in Part XIV-A (Articles 323A and 323B), inserted by the 42nd Amendment (1976). Part XI actually covers 'Relations between the Union and the States'. Since this is a 'not correctly matched' question, the wrong pairing — Tribunals with Part XI — is the answer.

Why the other options are wrong — (b) Correctly matched — the Union Territories are governed by Part VIII (Articles 239-241), so this pair is right and not the answer.  (c) Correctly matched — the Official Language provisions are in Part XVII (Articles 343-351); a valid pair.  (d) Correctly matched — the Scheduled and Tribal Areas fall under Part X (Articles 244, 244A); a valid pair.

Concept: The Constitution is organised into Parts, each covering a theme, and several Parts were added later by amendment — Part IX (Panchayats), IX-A (Municipalities), IX-B (Co-operatives) and Part XIV-A (Tribunals). Tribunals — administrative (Art. 323A) and for other matters (Art. 323B) — sit in Part XIV-A, not in Part XI, which deals with Union-State relations.
