Consider the following pairs with reference to the Constitution of India: I. Part IX A : The Municipalities II. Part IX B : The Cooperative Societies III. Part X : Relations between the Union and States IV. Part XII : Finance, Property, Contracts and Suits How many of the pairs given above are correctly matched?

Three pairs are correctly matched. Part IX A deals with the Municipalities — correct. Part IX B deals with the Cooperative Societies — correct. Part X of the Constitution deals with the Scheduled and Tribal Areas, NOT relations between the Union and States (which is covered in Part XI). Part XII deals with Finance, Property, Contracts and Suits — correct. Hence, three pairs (I, II, and IV) are correctly matched.
