Correct Answerसही उत्तर
A. Maharashtra and GujaratA. महाराष्ट्र और गुजरात
Explanationव्याख्या
According to the source, Bombay was divided into two separate states in 1960—Maharashtra and Gujarat.
The source further states that Gujarat was formed from the Gujarati-speaking region of the Bombay province and identifies Gujarat as the 15th state.
In its chronological table of newly formed states, the source gives Gujarat's formation date as 1 May 1960.
This development forms part of the broader history of state reorganisation in India after independence.
The source's sequence moves from Andhra Pradesh in 1953 to Gujarat in 1960 and subsequently to Nagaland, Haryana and other states.
For competitive examinations, the direct pair to remember is Bombay reorganisation, 1960—Maharashtra and Gujarat.
स्रोत के अनुसार 1960 में बंबई को दो अलग राज्यों—महाराष्ट्र और गुजरात—में विभाजित किया गया। स्रोत आगे बताता है कि बंबई प्रांत के गुजराती भाषी क्षेत्र को अलग करके गुजरात राज्य बनाया गया और गुजरात को भारत का 15वां राज्य बताया गया है। नए राज्यों की गठन-तिथि वाली सूची में स्रोत गुजरात की गठन तिथि 1 मई 1960 देता है। यह घटना स्वतंत्रता के बाद भारत में राज्यों के पुनर्गठन की व्यापक प्रक्रिया का हिस्सा थी। परीक्षा के लिए सीधा संबंध याद रखें—1960 में बंबई का विभाजन = महाराष्ट्र और गुजरात।
