Consider the following pairs of Schedule and Content of the Constitution of India:

Schedule	Content
1. First Schedule	I. Forms of Oaths or Affirmations
2. Third Schedule	II. Allocation of seats in the Council of States
3. Fifth Schedule	III. Provisions related to the administration of Scheduled Areas and Scheduled Tribes
4. Ninth Schedule	IV. Provisions related to the administration of tribal areas in certain States

How many of the above pairs is/are correctly matched?

The Constitution of India contains twelve schedules, each with specific contents. Pair 1 is incorrect because the First Schedule lists the States and Union Territories, while 'Forms of Oaths or Affirmations' is the subject of the Third Schedule. Pair 2 is incorrect because the Third Schedule deals with oaths, whereas 'Allocation of seats in the Council of States' is the subject of the Fourth Schedule. Pair 3 is correctly matched; the Fifth Schedule deals with the administration and control of Scheduled Areas and Scheduled Tribes in states other than Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, and Mizoram [3]. Pair 4 is incorrect because the Ninth Schedule contains acts and regulations related to land reforms and the abolition of the zamindari system, while 'administration of tribal areas' in the four northeastern states is governed by the Sixth Schedule [5]. Therefore, only one pair (Pair 3) is correctly matched.
