Q1. The States Reorganisation Act was passed in:
A 1956 Correct
B 1952
C 1953
D 1955
Explanation
The States Reorganisation Act was passed in 1956 and came into force on 1 November 1956, reorganising Indian states mainly on linguistic lines. The year 1952 is too early and does not correspond to the passage of this Act. The year 1953 is associated with the creation of Andhra State and the setting up of the States Reorganisation Commission. The year 1955 is linked with the Commission’s report, not the Act itself. Therefore, 1956 is the year asked in the question.
