3. Lucknow pact between Congress and Muslim League

b) Only 3
c) 2 and 3
d) Only 1
Correct Answer: a) 1 and 2
Question from UPPSC Prelims 2025
Explanation:
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. In December 1911, at the Delhi Durbar, King George V announced both the annulment of the 1905 Partition of Bengal and the transfer of the imperial capital from Calcutta to Delhi (implemented in 1912).
Statement 3 is incorrect because the Congress–Muslim League Lucknow Pact took place in 1916, not 1911.
Hence, Option 1 (1 and 2) is correct.
