Match List-I (Schedules) with List-II (Provisions/Functionaries) and select the correct answer using the codes given below: List-I (Schedule) | List-II (Specific Provisions/Functionaries) A. Second Schedule | 1. Forms of Oaths for Union Ministers and Judges of SC/HC B. Third Schedule | 2. Emoluments and Privileges of the President and Governors C. Fourth Schedule | 3. Allocation of seats in the Council of States (Rajya Sabha) D. Seventh Schedule | 4. Division of legislative powers between the Union and State governments

Correct — A. Match each Schedule to its heading in the Constitution.

Second Schedule: emoluments of the President and Governors → A-2
Third Schedule: Forms of Oaths or Affirmations → B-1
Fourth Schedule: allocation of seats in the Council of States → C-3
Seventh Schedule: the Union, State and Concurrent Lists → D-4

That sequence, A-2, B-1, C-3, D-4, is option (a).

Why the others are wrong

• (b)
  A-2, B-3, C-1, D-4 — Swaps the Third and Fourth Schedules. The oath forms, for Union Ministers and Supreme Court and High Court judges among others, are in the Third. The Fourth allots Rajya Sabha seats.
• (c)
  A-4, B-1, C-3, D-2 — Swaps the Second and Seventh. Emoluments of the President and Governors sit in Part A of the Second Schedule, while the Seventh, under Article 246, holds the three legislative lists.
• (d)
  A-1, B-2, C-4, D-3 — Every pair is wrong. The Second Schedule has no oath forms, the Third has no pay provisions, and the Seventh Schedule holds the legislative lists, not Rajya Sabha seats.

Schedules are the Constitution's tables and forms, each linked to the Articles that refer to it.

The Second fixes emoluments: Part A for the President and Governors, later Parts for presiding officers, judges and the CAG.

The Third holds oath forms. The Fourth allots Rajya Sabha seats to States and Union territories, under Articles 4(1) and 80(2).

The Seventh, under Article 246, contains the Union, State and Concurrent Lists.

Key facts

• Second Schedule, Part A: emoluments and allowances of the President and the Governors of States.
• Third Schedule: Forms of Oaths or Affirmations, including those for Union Ministers and judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts.
• Fourth Schedule: allocation of seats in the Council of States, under Articles 4(1) and 80(2).
• Seventh Schedule (Article 246): List I Union, List II State, List III Concurrent.

Common traps

• Placing oath forms in the Second Schedule because the President and Governors appear there.
• Swapping the Third and Fourth Schedules, as option (b) does.
