The number of India States after the formation of Telangana will be

27
28
29
30

The correct answer is (b).

Telangana was formed on June 2, 2014, by carving out 10 districts from the northern part of Andhra Pradesh. This made the total number of states in India 28.

The other options are incorrect because they do not reflect the current number of states in India.

(a) 27 is incorrect because it is the number of states in India before the formation of Telangana.

(c) 29 is incorrect because it is the number of states in India if Telangana were to be divided into two states.

(d) 30 is incorrect because it is the number of states in India if Telangana were to be merged with Andhra Pradesh.
