- B
II and III only
II and III only. That drops I, which is also not correct.
- C
I and III only
I and III only. Age thirty is also not the constitutional minimum, so II is not correct as well.
- D
I, II and III
I, II and III. Intermediate panchayats are not in every State; membership age is not thirty; the Governor — not the CM — constitutes the SFC. All three statements are not correct.
Summary. Official Set A key is (d) all three are not correct. The question asks which statements are not correct. Intermediate panchayats can be skipped in small States (I is not correct). Panchayat members need to be twenty-one, not thirty (II is not correct). The State Finance Commission is constituted by the Governor under Article 243I, not by the Chief Minister (III is not correct). So I, II and III.
