Six
The Government of India Act, 1935 abolished dyarchy in the provinces and introduced provincial autonomy in the eleven Governor's provinces of British India.
It made the legislatures of six of these provinces bicameral, with a Legislative Council (upper house) and a Legislative Assembly (lower house): Bengal, Bombay, Madras, Bihar, Assam and the United Provinces.
The remaining five provinces kept a single-chamber legislature, so 'five' describes the unicameral group, while 'seven' and 'eight' overstate the number of bicameral provinces.
