Question:

In which year did King George V assume the crown of India?

Options:

1917

1911

1923

1906

Correct Answer:

1911

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2- 1911

King George V assumed the crown of India in 1911. He did this at the Delhi Durbar, a ceremony that was held to celebrate his coronation. At the Durbar, George V and his wife, Queen Mary, were crowned Emperor and Empress of India.

The Delhi Durbar was a major event in the history of British India. It was a symbol of the British Empire's power and prestige, and it also served to legitimize British rule in India.

George V's reign as Emperor of India was relatively short-lived. India gained independence from Britain in 1947, and George V's son, George VI, became the last British monarch to hold the title of Emperor of India.
