Explanationव्याख्या

The printed answer in the source is 1952.
The explanation states that freedom fighter Potti Sriramulu wanted the capital of Andhra Pradesh to be built in Rayalaseema and that, due to his 56-day fast, a separate Andhra state was carved out of the erstwhile Madras Presidency in 1952 with Kurnool as its capital.
Thus the source-supported chain is: Potti Sriramulu → 56-day fast → separate Andhra state → erstwhile Madras Presidency → source says 1952 → Kurnool as capital.
This entry should be treated carefully because the chronology stated by the source is potentially problematic and the workflow requires the book's printed answer to be preserved rather than silently replaced with outside knowledge.
Therefore the answer remains option (b), 1952, but the question is marked for review before publication.
The other options are 1950, 1956 and 1947.
Quick source revision: Printed answer = 1952; explanation = Potti Sriramulu, 56-day fast and Kurnool as capital.
Manual factual verification is recommended before this record goes live.

Source में printed answer 1952 है। Explanation बताती है कि freedom fighter Potti Sriramulu चाहते थे कि Andhra Pradesh की capital Rayalaseema में बने और उनके 56-day fast के कारण source के अनुसार 1952 में erstwhile Madras Presidency से separate Andhra state बनाया गया, जिसकी capital Kurnool थी। इसलिए source-supported chain है: Potti Sriramulu → 56-Day Fast → Separate Andhra State → Madras Presidency → Source में 1952 → Kurnool Capital। इस entry की chronology potentially problematic है। Workflow के अनुसार printed source answer को silently outside knowledge से replace नहीं किया जाना चाहिए। इसलिए answer option (b), 1952 preserve किया गया है, लेकिन publication से पहले manual review के लिए record को mark किया गया है। Quick revision according to source: Andhra State = 1952; Potti Sriramulu; Kurnool।
