Detailed Solution
On the basis of the printed options, none of the pairs is incorrectly matched.
Option (a) is correct. Article 263 deals with Provisions with respect to an Inter-State Council and empowers the President to establish such a Council when public interest would be served.
Option (b) is correct. Article 280 provides for the Finance Commission. The President constitutes a Finance Commission every fifth year or earlier when considered necessary.
Option (c) is also correct. Article 323A itself deals with Administrative Tribunals and empowers Parliament to provide by law for administrative tribunals dealing with specified public-service matters.
