Explanation
Pair I is correct
- The capital Itanagar is named after the historical Ita Fort (Ita = brick in Assamese), which dates back to the 14th–15th century (probably built by kings of the Chutiya kingdom which ruled the region during that time).
- Arunachal Pradesh has two National Parks:
- Namdapha National Park
- Mouling National Park
Pair II is incorrect
- Nagaland became the 16th state of India through the State of Nagaland Act, 1962, and was formally inaugurated on 1 December 1963.
- Note: The 13th Amendment was enacted to give effect to certain special provisions for Nagaland, including the introduction of Article 371A and related constitutional changes. However, the formation of the State was carried out through the State of Nagaland Act, 1962 — a law enacted by Parliament under Article 3 of the Constitution (Therefore, the statement claiming that the Constitutional Amendment was responsible for the creation of the state is incorrect).
Pair III is correct
- The Royal history of Tripura ended when the princely state acceded to the Indian Union on October 15, 1949. After the merger, Tripura became a Part ‘C’ State. On reorganisation of the states, effected in November 1956, Tripura became a Union Territory with an Advisory Committee to aid and advise the Chief Commissioner. On January 21, 1972, Tripura became a full-fledged State by the Act of Parliament called the North Eastern Areas (Reorganisation) Act, 1971.
