Answer
(I) is true but (II) is false
Explanation —Statement (I) is true — the Partition of Bengal was indeed revoked in 1911 due to the strong opposition and mass protests of the Anti-Partition Movement led by the Indians.
Statement (II) is false — when the Partition was revoked in 1911, a new scheme of partition was implemented but it was based on language, not on the size of population. Bengal was reorganised on linguistic lines. So the claim that the new partition was based on the size of population is incorrect. Hence, Statement (I) is true but (II) is false.
