Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

People from the United Province mostly migrated to Bombay and Calcutta.

Many peasants and artisans who found no work in villages moved to industrial centres in search of jobs. People from the United Provinces like present-day Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand travelled to work in the textile mills of Bombay and the jute mills of Calcutta. Jobbers were generally old and trusted workers. The Jobber brought people from villages, got them jobs.
