Solution

The correct option is C A is true but R is false.
In 1905, Bengal witnessed many uprisings and riots as the British planned to partition Bengal. The British cited that the partition was for administrative reasons. The eastern part of the divided Bengal had a Muslim-majority population, and the western part, a Hindu-majority population, which seemed as a division based on religion.
