Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: A. Punjab
Haryana was part of Punjab after India’s Independence in 1947. It was a part of the Punjab province of British India. After the partition of India in 1947, the Punjab province was divided into two parts, one in India and the other in Pakistan. The Indian part of Punjab was further divided into three states: Punjab, Haryana, and Himachal Pradesh. Haryana was carved out of Punjab in 1966.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Himachal Pradesh was a part of the Punjab province of British India until 1948, when it was made a separate state.
- Rajasthan was a part of the Rajputana Agency of British India until 1949, when it was made a separate state.
- Uttar Pradesh was a part of the United Provinces of British India until 1950, when it was made a separate state.
