Correct Answer: Bihar and Orissa


Solution : The correct answer is Bihar and Orissa.

In 1905, Viceroy Lord Curzon implemented the partition of Bengal, a significant move in British India's administrative reorganisation. Bengal, being the largest province at the time, encompassed not only its present boundaries but also included Bihar and Orissa. The official justification put forth by the British authorities for this partition was the need for administrative convenience.
