Answer
(II) contradicts (I)
Explanation — Statement (I) tells us that the British claimed that Bengal was too large to be efficiently administered, which was their official reason for partition. Statement (II) tells us that the real intention of the British was to curb the growing nationalism by dividing the people. Thus, Statement (II) contradicts Statement (I) because it exposes the hidden motive behind the British claim.
