- ABoth true and II explains I
- BBoth true but II does not explain I
- CI true but II false
- DI false but II true
Explanation
Both statements are true: Wajid Ali Shah was deposed in February 1856 on the pretext of misgovernment and exiled to Calcutta, and the charge against his administration did accuse it of failing to control rebellious chiefs and taluqdars. Statement II gives the reason behind the action described in statement I. Hence both are true and II is the correct explanation of I.
