Q1. Which of the following states was carved out of Assam?
A Tripura
B Meghalaya Correct
C Manipur
D Sikkim
Explanation
Meghalaya was carved out of Assam: it first became an autonomous state within Assam and then became a full state in 1972. Tripura was a princely state before joining India and was not carved out of Assam. Manipur also had a separate historical and administrative trajectory and did not come out of Assam. Sikkim joined India later and became a state in 1975; it has no such origin in Assam. Therefore Meghalaya alone matches the political-geography fact asked in the question.
