Solution
The correct option is B Burdwan, Midnapore and Chittagong
Mir Qasim was
the Nawab of Bengal from the year 1760 till 1764. The British East India
Company made him the Nawab of Bengal by replacing Mir Jafar, the father-in-law of
Mir Qasim, who was also installed by the British in reply to his treachery in
the Battle of Plassey. Since Mir Jafar engaged himself with the Dutch East
India Company to assert independence, the British finally defeated Mir Jafar
and the Dutch forces at Chinsura and made Mir Qasim the new Nawab of Bengal. Mir Qasim gave Burdwan, Midnapore and Chittagong districts to the company.
