The correct answer is Option B ((a)-(iv), (b)-(i), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iii)).

Key Points:
• Original Four-Fold Classification of States (1950):
• In the original 1950 Constitution, the First Schedule categorized states into four parts:
• Part A: Former British Indian Provinces ruled by Governors (9 states) → (a) matches (iv).
• Part B: Former Princely States with legislatures, ruled by Rajpramukhs (9 states) → (b) matches (i).
• Part C: Former Chief Commissioner's provinces and centrally administered areas (10 states) → (c) matches (ii).
• Part D: Andaman and Nicobar Islands alone (administered by Lieutenant Governor/Chief Commissioner) → (d) matches (iii).
• This classification was abolished by the 7th Constitutional Amendment Act of 1956.
• The correct match is (a)-(iv), (b)-(i), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iii), making Option (2) correct.
• Key Takeaway: In 1950: Part A = British Provinces, Part B = Princely States, Part C = Centrally Administered, Part D = Andaman & Nicobar.
