Correct Answerसही उत्तर

D. Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, GoaD. मिजोरम, अरुणाचल प्रदेश, गोवा

Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh and Goa.
According to the source, these states became the 23rd, 24th and 25th states of the Indian Union in 1987.
The book provides additional historical details for all three.
Goa remained under Portuguese rule even after Indian independence, was liberated by the Indian Army in 1961, and was made a Union Territory along with Daman and Diu.
The source states that Goa became a state on 30 May 1987.
Arunachal Pradesh became a Union Territory in 1972 and attained statehood in 1987, with Itanagar as its capital.
Mizoram also became a Union Territory in 1972 after earlier being a district of Assam and received full statehood on 20 February 1987.
These details make the question especially important for Indian state-formation chronology.
For exam preparation, remember the 1987 cluster: Mizoram — Arunachal Pradesh — Goa.
Students should also associate Goa with Portuguese rule and 1961 liberation, Arunachal Pradesh with Union Territory status in 1972 and capital Itanagar, and Mizoram with its earlier association with Assam and statehood on 20 February 1987.
The other option groups correspond to states formed in different historical periods.
Therefore the source-supported answer is option (d), Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh and Goa.

सही उत्तर मिजोरम, अरुणाचल प्रदेश और गोवा है। स्रोत के अनुसार ये राज्य 1987 में भारतीय संघ के 23वें, 24वें और 25वें राज्य बने। पुस्तक तीनों के बारे में अतिरिक्त historical details भी देती है। Goa भारत की स्वतंत्रता के बाद भी Portuguese rule के अधीन रहा। स्रोत बताता है कि 1961 में Indian Army द्वारा इसे liberated किया गया और बाद में Daman and Diu के साथ Union Territory बनाया गया। Goa को 30 May 1987 को statehood मिला। Arunachal Pradesh 1972 में Union Territory बना और 1987 में state बना; स्रोत उसकी राजधानी Itanagar बताता है। Mizoram पहले Assam का एक district था, 1972 में Union Territory बना और 20 February 1987 को full statehood प्राप्त किया। इसलिए यह प्रश्न Indian State Formation Chronology के लिए बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है। परीक्षा के लिए 1987 cluster याद रखें: Mizoram — Arunachal Pradesh — Goa। Goa को Portuguese rule और 1961 liberation से जोड़ें; Arunachal Pradesh को 1972 Union Territory और Itanagar से; Mizoram को Assam से पुराने संबंध तथा 20 February 1987 statehood से जोड़ें। अन्य option groups अलग historical periods में बने राज्यों से संबंधित हैं। इसलिए source-supported answer विकल्प (d), Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh और Goa है।
