Identifying Correct State Formation Match

The question asks to identify the correctly matched pair between a newly created Indian state or Union Territory and its year of formation. While the question references the States Reorganisation Act, 1956, the options provided are for states formed much later.

State Formation Dates Analysis

Let's examine each option based on the actual formation dates of the states:

  • Option 1: Jharkhand - 2001
    Jharkhand was actually formed on November 15, 2000. Therefore, this pair is incorrect.
  • Option 2: Uttarakhand - 1998
    Uttarakhand was formed on November 9, 2000. Thus, this pair is also incorrect.
  • Option 3: Chhattisgarh - 2000
    Chhattisgarh was established on November 1, 2000. This match is correct.
  • Option 4: Telangana - 2001
    Telangana was created much later, on June 2, 2014. This pair is incorrect.

Summary of State Creation Years

The following table summarizes the states mentioned, the year provided in the options, and their actual formation years:
