{'deccan': [2, 0, 1, 1], 'provinces': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'akbar': [7, 4, 6, 2], 'ahmad nagar': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'khandesh': [1, 2, 2, 0], 'berar': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'empire': [3, 2, 6, 5]}

During the end of his reign, Emperor Akbar expanded his empire by adding three provinces in the Deccan. These provinces were Khandesh, Berar, and Ahmadnagar. However, Bidar was not among the provinces added by Akbar in the Deccan.

Khandesh refers to the region situated in present-day Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, while Berar was a region in present-day Maharashtra and Telangana. Ahmadnagar is another region in Maharashtra.

Bidar, on the other hand, is a historical city located in present-day Karnataka. It was an important capital of the Bahmani Sultanate and later the Barid Shahi dynasty. Although Bidar held significance during this time, it was not one of the provinces that Akbar added to his empire in the Deccan.

Therefore, option 3, Bidar, was not among the provinces added to Akbar`s empire in the Deccan.
