Solution
(I) is true, but (II) 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).
