Q1. In which of the following budget years was the Railway Budget merged with the Union Budget?
A 2015-16
B 2016-17
C 2017-18 Correct
D 2018-19
Explanation
The Railway Budget was merged with the Union Budget from the budget year 2017-18, ending the long practice of presenting it separately. The years 2015-16 and 2016-17 came before this merger, so they do not match the reform. The year 2018-19 was after the merger had already taken effect, so it is too late for the first merged budget. Therefore, 2017-18 is the correct budget year for the change asked in the question.
