Answer 1

Instead of using a IEnumerable in your viewmodel use a List of objects like this one:

public List> TiposValorCobertura { get; private set; }

And in your view when you assign the selectable elements for the dropdownlist in the loop, do it this way:

@Html.DropDownListFor(m => m.Coberturas[i].TipoLimiteInferior, new SelectList(Model.TiposValorCobertura,"Key","Description",  Model.Coberturas[i].TipoLimiteIferior))

Where "Key" and "Description" are PairVM's properties
