The Constitution of India arranges its Articles into Parts, and each Part deals with one broad subject. Matching a Part number with its subject therefore needs the Part-wise layout of the Constitution.
Part XI (Articles 245 to 263) deals with the Relations between the Union and the States — legislative relations and administrative relations. So (a) XI matches 4.
Part IX (Articles 243 to 243-O), inserted by the 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992, deals with the Panchayats. So (b) IX matches 3.
Part XV (Articles 324 to 329A) deals with Elections, including the superintendence of elections and electoral rolls. So (c) XV matches 2.
Part IV (Articles 36 to 51) contains the Directive Principles of State Policy. So (d) IV matches 1. The resulting code is a–4, b–3, c–2, d–1; every other code pairs at least one Part with a subject it does not contain.
