💡
Correct Answer: B. May 1, 1960
Gujarat was carved out of the Bombay State on May 1, 1960, on linguistic lines, with the predominantly Gujarati-speaking areas forming the new state. This division also created Maharashtra on the same day. Ahmedabad was the original capital of Gujarat, later replaced by Gandhinagar, which became the permanent capital in 1970.
