Consider the formation of the following States and arrange them in chronological order:I.GoaII.TelanganaIII.JharkhandIV.Haryana.Select the correct answer from the codes given below.

1. A

   I, II, III, IV

   Option A places Goa first and Telangana second. This sequence fails because Telangana was formed much later in 2014.

2. B

   IV, I, III, II

   Option B presents the chronological order as Haryana (1966), Goa (1987), Jharkhand (2000), and Telangana (2014). This is the correct sequence as per the dates of formation of these states.

3. C

   III, II, IV, I

   Option C starts with Jharkhand in the year 2000. Since Haryana and Goa were created earlier, this arrangement is incorrect.

4. D

   IV, III, I, II

   Option D places Jharkhand before Goa. This reverses the actual creation years of 1987 for Goa and 2000 for Jharkhand.

Summary. Official key is (b) IV, I, III, II. Haryana was formed on November 1, 1966, followed by Goa on May 30, 1987. Jharkhand was carved out on November 15, 2000, and Telangana became the 29th state on June 2, 2014. Sorting these establishment dates yields the exact sequence IV, I, III, II. Aspirants often confuse the formation years of Goa and Jharkhand, leading to incorrect choices.
