Question

(I) and (II) are independent of each other. Explanation: Lord Curzon refused to concede demands to annul the 1905 Partition of Bengal, and although the Partition was later revoked in 1911, the administrative capital was also moved from Calcutta to Delhi that year; these are separate events, and the shift of the capital is not the reason for Curzon’s earlier refusal, so the two statements are independent.
