Show AnswerHide Answer
Correct Answer
B Only two pairs
Model Answer
- Agriculture, including agricultural education and research, protection against pests and prevention of plant diseases, is Entry 14 of the State List and not of the Union List. Hence, pair 1 is not correctly matched.
- Preservation, protection and improvement of stock and prevention of animal diseases, and veterinary training and practice, form Entry 15 of the State List. Hence, pair 2 is correctly matched.
- Education, including technical education, medical education and universities, was originally in the State List but was transferred to the Concurrent List by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1976. Hence, pair 3 is correctly matched.
- Therefore, only two pairs are correctly matched.
