Answer: B
P and Q are the 4th and 5th Schedules.
The Fourth Schedule allocates seats in the Rajya Sabha to the states and union territories. The Fifth Schedule deals with the administration of Scheduled Areas and Scheduled Tribes in states other than Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram, and the PESA Act of 1996 extended Part IX (Panchayats) to these Fifth Schedule areas.
The Third Schedule contains forms of oaths, and the Sixth Schedule covers tribal areas of the four north-eastern states, to which PESA does not apply.
