The correct answer is option 'C' - Purnea and Sheohar. Let's understand why.
Districts sharing border with Nepal:
a) West Champaran and East Champaran: Both West Champaran and East Champaran districts in Bihar share their border with Nepal. West Champaran district is located in the western part of Bihar and shares its border with Nepal's Rautahat and Parsa districts. Similarly, East Champaran district is situated in the eastern part of Bihar and shares its border with Nepal's Siraha and Saptari districts.
b) Madhubani and Supaul: Madhubani district is located in the northern part of Bihar and shares its border with Nepal's Mahottari district. Similarly, Supaul district is also situated in the northern part of Bihar and shares its border with Nepal's Sunsari district. Therefore, both Madhubani and Supaul districts share their border with Nepal.
c) Purnea and Sheohar: Purnea district is situated in the northeastern part of Bihar and does not share its border with Nepal. It is bounded by the districts of Araria, Kishanganj, and Katihar within Bihar. Similarly, Sheohar district is located in the northwestern part of Bihar and also does not share its border with Nepal. It is surrounded by Sitamarhi and East Champaran districts within Bihar.
d) East Champaran and Sitamarhi: As mentioned earlier, East Champaran district shares its border with Nepal. However, Sitamarhi district, which is located in the northern part of Bihar, does not share its border with Nepal. It is bordered by the districts of Sheohar, East Champaran, and Muzaffarpur.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C' - Purnea and Sheohar. These districts do not share their border with Nepal.
