B.15
C.16
D.17

Answer 1

Hint: Gujarat state was made on one May$1960$, out of the northern $17$regions of Bombay State when that was part on a phonetic premise (additionally making Marathi speaking Maharashtra). The western Indian territory of Gujarat has $33$regions after a few parts of the first regions at the development of the state in$1960$.

Complete answer:
The Land of the Legends stands delineated by Pakistan and Rajasthan in the upper east, Madhya Pradesh in the east, and Maharashtra and the Union spaces of Diu, Daman, Dadra, and Nagar Haveli in the south. The Arabian Sea borders the state both westward and the southwest. The State took its name from the Gujjars, who administered the region during the \[700\]'s and \[800\]'s. Rock Inscriptions in the Girnar Hills show that the Maurya Emperor Ashoka broadened his area into Gujarat in around \[250\] BC. With its fall, the control of the area went under the Sakas or Scythians. During \[900\] the Solanki Dynasty came to power and Gujarat arrived at its most noteworthy degree. That point followed an extensive stretch of Muslim guideline. The Mughal Emperor Akbar vanquished Malwa and Gujarat during the\[1570s\]. The British East India Company set its first strides in Surat in \[1818\] and the State came in charge of their standard. Gujarat was isolated into regal states. After the Indian Independence in\[1947\], all of Gujarat aside from Saurashtra and Kutch turned out to be essential for Bombay State until May\[1\], \[1960\] . Ahmedabad turned into the main city of the new State and housed the State Government Offices. They stayed there until they were moved to Gandhinagar in\[1970\].

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

Note: Gujarat is gotten from the Sanskrit expression Gurjaradesa, signifying "The Land of the Gurjaras (additionally called Gujjars)", who administered Gujarat in the eighth and ninth hundreds of years CE. Portions of present day Rajasthan and Gujarat have been known as Gurjaratra or Gurjarabhumi (place where there are the Gujjars) for quite a long time before the Mughal time frame.
