Explanation
At the time of the question, the main stretch of National Highway No. 87 connected Rampur (Uttar Pradesh) to Jeolikote (Uttarakhand) and National Highway No. 12 connected Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh) to Jaipur (Rajasthan)— these did not pass through Bihar. National Highway No. 2 also passed through Bihar, but its length was 202 km, whereas at present, the longest National Highway passing through Bihar is National Highway No. 27 (East–West/E.W.), whose length is 487 km.
