In which year was Orissa separated from Bihar?
Detailed Explanation:
Orissa was separated from Bihar on 1 April 1936 when the British divided the Bihar and Orissa Province into two separate provinces. Prior to 1912, both regions were part of the Bengal Presidency; they were then combined as Bihar and Orissa Province in 1912.
The year 1956 marks linguistic reorganization of states, and 2000 saw the creation of Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh—neither relates to Orissa's separation from Bihar.
Therefore, 1936 is the correct year, making Option 1 the correct answer.
