Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The correct chronological order is 2-1-4-3. Haryana was created on 1 November 1966 by the Punjab Reorganisation Act, so it is the earliest event listed [1]. The Fourth General Elections occurred in February 1967, placing them next [2]. Meghalaya and Tripura were granted full statehood in 1972 (Meghalaya on 21 January 1972 and Tripura in 1972), so these follow the 1967 elections [3]. Finally, the State of Mysore was officially renamed Karnataka in 1973, making this the latest event among the four [3]. Thus the chronological sequence is: Formation of Haryana (2), Fourth General Elections (1), Meghalaya and Tripura statehood (4), Mysore renamed Karnataka (3).
