Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
Constitutional article–subject matching is checked against the formal marginal heading of each article. Numerically adjacent articles often separate appointment, tenure, qualifications, conditions of office, and oath.
Application
Compare each cited number with the corresponding constitutional heading:
Article 153 is titled ‘Governors of States’; pair I matches.
Article 155 is titled ‘Appointment of Governor’; ‘Term of office of Governor’ is Article 156, so pair II does not match.
Article 157 is titled ‘Qualifications for appointment as Governor’; ‘Conditions of Governor’s office’ is Article 158, so pair III does not match.
Article 159 is titled ‘Oath or affirmation by the Governor’; pair IV matches.
Cross-check
The sequence 155–159 runs appointment → term → qualifications → conditions → oath. This independently confirms matches at 153 and 159 and mismatches at 155 and 157.
Therefore, 2 pairs are correctly matched.
