Indian PolityMaking of the Constitution & Salient Features
Which Act granted Statehood to Arunachal Pradesh?
  1. a.Constitution Act, 1981
  2. b.Constitution Act, 1987
  3. c.Government of India Act, 1981
  4. d.Government of India Act, 1987

No option is correct as printed — this question is disputed. WBPSC awarded the mark to all candidates: no option names the State of Arunachal Pradesh Act, 1986 / 55th Amendment, 1986 that granted statehood.

None of the options is correct: Arunachal Pradesh became a State on 20 February 1987 under the State of Arunachal Pradesh Act, 1986, read with the Constitution (55th Amendment) Act, 1986. There is no 'Constitution Act' or 'Government of India Act' of 1981 or 1987 granting statehood, so the WB PSC awarded the mark to all candidates.
