Q24 (IAS/2006) Polity & Governance › Preamble, Union & Territory, Citizenship › State and UT reorganisation Answer Verified

Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

Option 4 is not correctly matched. Andhra Pradesh was created initially as Andhra State in 1953 and its territory was further adjusted under the States Reorganisation provisions in 1956 [1]. The Part C State of Bilaspur was merged with Himachal Pradesh by the Himachal Pradesh and Bilaspur (New State) Act, 1954 [2]. Gujarat was formed by dividing the State of Bombay under the Bombay Reorganisation Act, 1960, and official records list Gujarat’s year of formation as 1960, not 1996 [4]. The Treaty of Yandabo (Yandabu) of 1826 transferred several territories from Burma to British India, including areas that became part of Assam, so option 2 is correctly matched (no conflicting source citation required here).
