Q1The states created in 1960 were:
Explanation
In 1960, the old Bombay State was reorganised, creating Maharashtra and Gujarat on 1 May 1960. Haryana was carved out of Punjab in 1966, and Himachal Pradesh became a full state in 1971, so that pair does not fit 1960. Maharashtra is correct in the second pair, but Punjab was not created in 1960. Manipur and Tripura became states in 1972. Therefore the pair linked to the 1960 reorganisation is Maharashtra and Gujarat.
