    In which year was Andhra Pradesh established?

    • 1980

    • 1999

    • 1956

    • 1940

    Correct Answer
    A. 1956
    Explanation
    Andhra Pradesh was established in the year 1956. This was the result of the States Reorganization Act, which was passed by the Indian government in 1956. The act aimed to reorganize the states in India based on linguistic and administrative factors. As a result, Andhra Pradesh was formed by merging the Telugu-speaking areas of the Madras Presidency with the Telugu-speaking areas of the Hyderabad State. Therefore, 1956 is the correct answer.
