General KnowledgeIndian Polity and Governance
- AArticle 371A : Special provision with respect to the State of Nagaland
- BArticle 371B : Special provision with respect to the State of Assam
- CArticle 371D : Special provision with respect to the State of Sikkim
- DArticle 371C : Special provision with respect to the State of Manipur
Explanation
The question asks for the pair that is not correctly matched. Article 371A (Nagaland), 371B (Assam), and 371C (Manipur) are all correctly matched with their states. But Article 371D contains special provisions for Andhra Pradesh (extended to Telangana), while Sikkim's special provisions are in Article 371F. Hence pair C is the incorrectly matched one. Note: UPSC's published key marks option D, but 371D is the Andhra Pradesh article.
