Question

(A) The Partition of Bengal was revoked in 1911.

(R) A new scheme of the Partition of Bengal was implemented on the basis of the size of the population rather than on religion.

Options

• (R) contradicts (A).

• (R) is the reason for (A).

• (A) is true, but (R) is false.

• (A) and (R) are independent of each other.

Answer 1

(A) is true, but (R) is false.

Explanation:

The 1905 Partition of Bengal was annulled (revoked) in 1911, and the subsequent reorganisation was done on linguistic/administrative lines (separating Hindi, Odiya and Assamese speaking areas to form provinces such as Bihar, Odisha and Assam), not on the basis of population size; the annulment came after sustained anti‑partition agitation (Swadeshi and boycott).
