Explanations:The question involves evaluating the historical and geographical accuracy of three statements. The first statement concerns the Battle of Buxar, which took place in 1764 between the British East India Company and the combined forces of Mir Qasim, the Nawab of Bengal, Shah Alam II, the Mughal Emperor, and Shuja-ud-Daula, the Nawab of Awadh. Despite the combined forces, the British emerged victorious in this battle, which significantly weakened the power of the Nawabs and the Mughal Emperor, leading to increased British control over Bengal.
The second statement is about the geographical location of Bangladesh. Bangladesh is indeed located to the east of India, sharing a border with the Indian states of West Bengal, Assam, Tripura, and Meghalaya. This statement is accurate and reflects the correct geographical relationship between the two countries.
The third statement pertains to the location of Surat, a city in the state of Gujarat, India. Surat is known for its historical significance as a major trading port. However, it is located on the Arabian Sea, not the Bay of Bengal. The Bay of Bengal is located to the east of India, while the Arabian Sea is to the west. Therefore, this statement is incorrect.
Given these evaluations, the only true statement among the three is the second one, which correctly identifies the geographical location of Bangladesh. The first statement is incorrect due to the historical outcome of the Battle of Buxar, and the third statement is incorrect due to the geographical location of Surat. Therefore, the correct answer is Option A, which states that only the second statement is true.
