Explanation

The textbook explicitly mentions that in 2000, three larger States were divided for administrative efficiency and to meet demands for separate Statehood. Madhya Pradesh was divided to create Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh was divided to create Uttarakhand, and Bihar was divided to create Jharkhand. The question asks about States from 1947 that were changed later, and these three States underwent boundary changes through division in 2000. Additionally, the context also mentions that Gujarat and Maharashtra were created in 1960 (implying the division of Bombay State), and Punjab and Haryana were separated in 1966, but the names of the original States before these divisions are not explicitly stated in the provided context.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Identify States mentioned in the context that underwent changes after 1947.

  2. Step 2: The context explicitly states that Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar were divided in 2000.

  3. Step 3: These three States are clearly named and their changes (division) are documented in the textbook.
