Question 2 • World History

Which two areas became separate Muslim majorities after the partition?

Answer
A
West Pakistan and East Pakistan
B
India and Burma
C
West Pakistan and India
D
India and East Pakistan

Explanation

The 1947 partition divided British India into two Muslim-majority regions: West Pakistan and East Pakistan, which later became Bangladesh. India became a majority-Hindu country, so choices that include India do not name two Muslim-majority areas.
