Mandar Hills are situated in Bihar, while Jhumri Telaiya is in Jharkhand. Given the single-state options and the historical context, Bihar is the most likely intended answer, possibly referring to the state before the bifurcation or focusing on Mandar Hills.

Jhumri Telaiya is a town historically famous due to All India Radio’s request programs, located in Koderma district. Mandar Hills is a significant geological and religious site.

Jhumri Telaiya is located in the Koderma district of the state of Jharkhand. Jharkhand was created in 2000 from the southern part of Bihar. Mandar Hills are located in the Banka district of the state of Bihar. Since 2000, these two locations are in different states. This question is likely from a period before 2000, or relies on the historical state boundary, in which case both places were part of Bihar. Alternatively, if the question is post-2000, it is geographically inaccurate as it asks for a single state for two locations in different states. Assuming it is either from a pre-2000 exam or relies on the historical context where both were part of Bihar, option B (Bihar) is the most plausible answer. If it is a post-2000 question, it is flawed. However, given the constraint to provide a single option, and acknowledging the ambiguity, the historical context pointing to Bihar is a strong consideration for this specific phrasing.
