\nStatement I is true: The Government of India Act, 1935 indeed abolished dyarchy at the provincial level (introduced by the 1919 Act) and introduced it at the Centre. Statement II is also true: The same Act granted a significant level of autonomy to the provinces, making them autonomous units of administration, though the Governor retained certain discretionary powers. Both statements are correct descriptions of features of the 1935 Act, but the granting of provincial autonomy does not explain the introduction of dyarchy at the Centre; they were separate provisions of the same comprehensive act aimed at constitutional reform.
