Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Punjab -1966
Nagaland -1963
Tripura -1972
Mizoram -1987
Statehood for Punjab came ten years later, in 1966 when the territories of today’s Haryana and Himachal Pradesh were separated from the larger Punjab state.
Another major reorganisation of states took place in the northeast in 1972. Meghalaya was carved out of Assam in 1972. Manipur and Tripura too emerged as separate states in the same year. The states of Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh came into being in 1987. Nagaland had become a state much earlier in 1963
