Explanation
The year 1911 was significant due to the Delhi Durbar, where King George V announced major administrative changes. First, the Partition of Bengal (enacted in 1905) was revoked to appease the growing nationalist sentiment, although Bihar and Orissa were separated from Bengal. Second, the transfer of the capital of British India from Calcutta to Delhi was announced, as Delhi was seen as a more central and historically significant location for the empire.
The Lucknow Pact, which was a joint agreement between the Indian National Congress and the All India Muslim League regarding political reforms and communal representation, took place in 1916, not 1911. Therefore, only statements 1 and 2 are correct.
