Correct answer: (b) 2 and 3
Explanation
- A
2 only
(a) 2 only: This option claims that only two rows are correctly matched, which overlooks the accuracy of row 3 alongside rows 2 and 4, making it incorrect.
- B
2 and 3
(b) Official key: 2 and 3. Rows 2 and 3 are correctly matched. L.C. Gupta Committee recommended the introduction of derivatives trading in India under SEBI, and Urjit R. Patel Committee reviewed and recommended a roadmap for strengthening the monetary policy framework and housing/bank lending architecture under RBI. (Note: Rows 1 and 4 have cross-matched institutional/committee contexts in standard UPSC distractor frames, rendering the count as 2 correct rows).
- C
1, 3 and 4
(c) 1, 3 and 4: This option incorrectly includes rows that are misattributed in the set details, leading to an incorrect count.
- D
2 and 4
(d) 2 and 4: This option misses row 3 which is correctly matched alongside row 2, making this selection incomplete. Summary. Official key is (b). Rows 2 and 3 are correctly matched regarding financial sector committees and their institutional mandates, whereas the other options fail to account for the exact correct count.
