Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (d) None of the above

Explanation

Shri Krishna Singh remained the Premier (provincial head of government) of Bihar continuously from 20 July 1937 to 31 October 1939. March 1939 falls within this period; therefore, the head of government of Bihar at that time (in today’s terms, the Chief Minister) was Shri Krishna Singh. However, since the question uses the term “Chief Minister” instead of “Premier”, the Bihar Public Service Commission gave option (d) as the answer.
