(b)Treaty of Yandabu : Assam
(c)State of Bilaspur : Himachal Pradesh
(d)Year 1966 : Gujarat becomes a State
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Year 1966 : Gujarat becomes a State
Andhra Pradesh was indeed formed under the States Reorganisation Act 1956; the 1826 Treaty of Yandabo ceded Assam to the British; and the erstwhile State of Bilaspur merged with Himachal Pradesh in 1954—all correctly matched. Gujarat, however, became a separate state on 1 May 1960, not in 1966, so pair (d) is the one NOT correctly matched.
