Correct Answerसही उत्तर
A. Jammu and Kashmir, and LadakhA. जम्मू-कश्मीर और लद्दाख
Explanationव्याख्या
According to the source, the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019 divided the former state into two Union Territories: Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh.
The source lists both separately among the Union Territories.
This territorial change forms part of the continuing evolution of India's internal administrative map.
The source also discusses a later merger involving Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, after which the number of Union Territories is stated as eight.
Students should therefore distinguish between state reorganisation involving creation of new states and reorganisation that results in Union Territories.
For this source-based question, the two units created under the 2019 Act are Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
स्रोत के अनुसार जम्मू-कश्मीर पुनर्गठन अधिनियम, 2019 के अंतर्गत पूर्व राज्य जम्मू-कश्मीर को दो संघ राज्य-क्षेत्रों—जम्मू-कश्मीर और लद्दाख—में विभाजित किया गया। स्रोत दोनों को संघ राज्य-क्षेत्रों की सूची में अलग-अलग प्रस्तुत करता है। यह परिवर्तन भारत की आंतरिक प्रशासनिक संरचना में हुए महत्वपूर्ण क्षेत्रीय परिवर्तनों में से एक है। स्रोत आगे दादरा और नगर हवेली तथा दमन और दीव के विलय का भी उल्लेख करता है, जिसके बाद संघ राज्य-क्षेत्रों की संख्या आठ बताई गई है। सही उत्तर—जम्मू-कश्मीर और लद्दाख।
