After the partition of Bengal, the two new provinces which came into existence were

The correct answer is Option 3. Key Points The Partition of Bengal took place in 1905 under the viceroyship of Lord Curzon. East Bengal and Assam provinces came into existence. The partition separated the largely Muslim eastern areas from the largely Hindu western areas. The government's contention was that the Partition of Bengal was purely an administrative measure with three main objectives. Firstly, it wanted to relieve the government of Bengal of a part of the administrative burden and to ensure more efficient administration in the outlying districts. Secondly, the government desired to promote the development of backward Assam (ruled by a Chief Commissioner) by enlarging its jurisdiction so as to provide it with an outlet to the sea. Thirdly, the government felt the urgent necessity to unite the scattered sections of the Uriya-speaking population under a single administration. The partition gave rise to the Swadeshi movement. The movement brought economic pressure on the government, initially by boycotting British goods, then later through a policy of non-cooperation. Bengal was reunited in 1911 by Lord Hardinge (Viceroy 1910–1916).
