Arrange the following states according to their attainment of statehood in the correct chronological order:
A. Meghalaya
B. Himachal Pradesh
C. Gujarat
D. Arunachal Pradesh
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → C, B, A, D
(C) Gujarat — 1960.
(B) Himachal Pradesh — 1966, when its territories were separated from the larger Punjab state.
(A) Meghalaya — 1972.
(D) Arunachal Pradesh — 1987.
Note: In 1966 Himachal Pradesh, then a Union Territory, received the hill areas of Punjab; it became a full state in 1971. Either year places it between Gujarat (1960) and Meghalaya (1972), so the order does not change.
