State with highest number of Deputy Prime Ministers in India
The correct answer is option C, Bihar.
Explanation:
Deputy Prime Minister is a senior member of the cabinet in the government of India. The position is not a constitutional one and is usually given to a senior member of the ruling party or coalition.
Here are the Deputy Prime Ministers of India and the states they belong to:
1. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel - Gujarat (1947-1950)
2. Morarji Desai - Maharashtra (1967-1969)
3. Charan Singh - Uttar Pradesh (1979-1980)
4. Jagjivan Ram - Bihar (1977-1979)
5. Devi Lal - Haryana (1989-1991)
6. L.K. Advani - Gujarat (2002-2004)
As we can see, Bihar has given the highest number of Deputy Prime Ministers in India, with Jagjivan Ram being the only Deputy Prime Minister from Bihar.
Jagjivan Ram was a prominent leader of the Indian National Congress and served as the Deputy Prime Minister under Prime Minister Morarji Desai from 1977 to 1979. He was also the Defence Minister of India from 1970 to 1975.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option C, Bihar.

please see that there is only one dy. p.m( jagjivan Ram)from Bihar.
but there are 3 Dy P.Ms (1. Patel 2.Morarji and 3.Advani) from Gujarat .
please also note even if Patel is taken/ considered as a member of Constitutent assembly,came from the
the United provinces, still the answer' d' ' holds tight
right as there is no other STATE that has sent two Dy.P.Ms
interestingly all the above 3 Dy P..Ms from Gujarat 1,2.n 7 ( Patel, Morarji n Advani ) mentioned above have served for longer periods
please let me enlightened if l am wrong.
