Rajasthan fell in the 'other states' category, for which the Centre:State share was 60:40. North-Eastern and Himalayan states received the more favourable 90:10 pattern. Union Territories had a 100 percent central share, represented here as 100:0. Thus the correct sequence is 1-b, 2-c, 3-a.

Q5Which option correctly describes the territorial coverage of the urban livelihoods mission at its launch?
The launch rule had two independent limbs: all district-headquarter towns were covered, and other cities were covered when their Census 2011 population was at least 1,00,000. Therefore, a district headquarters did not have to cross a separate 5,00,000 or 10,00,000 threshold.
