Answer

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Explanation — Lord Curzon partitioned Bengal in 1905. The reason he gave to the Congress leaders was that Bengal was too large a province to be administered efficiently by a single provincial government. However, the real reason behind the partition was to destroy the solidarity of Bengali nationalism.
