The correct answer is Nagaland.

  • ​The sixth Schedule deals with provisions relating to the administration of tribal areas.
  • It includes the tribal areas of Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, and Mizoram. Nagaland is not included in this schedule hence option 2 is wrong.
  • Articles covered in Sixth Schedule are 244 and 275.
  • The Fifth Schedule, on the other hand, deals with the administration and control of scheduled areas and scheduled tribes in any state except Assam, Mizoram, Tripura, and Meghalaya.​
  • The President is empowered to declare an area to be a scheduled area.
  • He can also increase or decrease its area, alter its boundary lines, rescind such designation or make fresh orders for such redesignation on an area in consultation with the governor of the state concerned.
