Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched?
- AStates Reorganization Act: Andhra Pradesh
- BTreaty of Yandabu: Assam
- CState of Bilaspur: Himachal Pradesh
- DYear 1966: Gujarat becomes a StateCorrect
Explanation
Option D is the correct answer because it is incorrectly matched. Gujarat became a separate state in 1960, not 1966. It was formed following the Bombay Reorganisation Act of 1960, which partitioned the Bombay State into the linguistic states of Gujarat and Maharashtra. The year 1966 is actually associated with the creation of Haryana and the reorganization of Punjab. The other options are correctly matched as the States Reorganisation Act of 1956 led to the formation of Andhra Pradesh, the Treaty of Yandabu in 1826 annexed Assam to British India, and the former State of Bilaspur was merged with Himachal Pradesh in 1954.
