Answer 1

The correct answer is Radcliffe Line.

Key Points:

The Radcliffe Line became the international border between India and Pakistan (which also included what is now Bangladesh) during the partition of India.
Sir Cyril Radcliffe, drew the Radcliffe line which divides India and Pakistan.
The Radcliffe Line was declared as the boundary between India and Pakistan On 17th August 1947, following the Partition of India.
The line is named after Sir Cyril Radcliffe who was commissioned to equitably divide 4,50,000 km sq of territory with 88 million people.
Sir Radcliffe arrived in India on 8th July 1947 and was given five weeks to work on the border.
Upon meeting with Mountbatten, Radcliffe traveled to Lahore and Kolkata to meet his Boundary Commission members, who were primarily Jawaharlal Nehru representing the Congress and Muhammad Ali Jinnah representing the Muslim League.
Both parties were keen that the boundary be finalized by 15th August 1947, in time for the British to leave India.
As requested by both Nehru and Jinnah, Radcliffe completed the boundary line a few days before Independence, but due to some political reasons the Radcliffe Line was only formally revealed on 17th August 1947.
