    A ADG Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B BDI and CEG Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C ADH, BEI and CFG Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D AEI and CDG Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E BFI Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The correctly matched pairs are AFH, BDI, and CEG. AFH: Parts A, F and H collectively talk of human capital. Part A mentions the fact that human capital is more based on skill rather than number, while parts F and H collectively talk about one of the ways of increasing the human capital of a country, which is through increasing the average number of parameters such as years spent in educational institutions. BDI: Parts B, D and I collectively talk of a fact regarding under-reporting of salary by women. They tell that when a married woman earns more than her spouse, she tends to under-report her salary and the husband reports an inflated figure. CEG: Parts C, E and G collectively talk of the change in the various structures of the world. Parts C and E tell that the world has lost much of its old structure and boundaries between work and home is diminishing, while part G talks of the need of some new structure. However, after looking at the options, only BDI and CEG are the correctly matched pairs, as given in option (b). Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.
