Model Answer

(a) i – 3, ii – 1, iii – 4, iv – 2

Union List: Banking (3); State List: Agriculture (1); Concurrent List: Education (4); Residuary Subjects: Computer Software (2).

Explanation

This question is from the chapter on Federalism (Political Science). The Union List includes subjects like defence, banking, and foreign affairs (controlled by Centre). Agriculture is a State List subject. Education was moved to the Concurrent List by the 42nd Amendment. Computer Software is a modern subject not listed in any of the three lists, so it falls under Residuary Subjects, which belong to the Centre. Remember this as a standard matching fact for board exams.
