Explanation:

The state is a people organized for law within a definite territory while the nation is a group of people psychologically bound together while sharing common joys and sorrows. A nation may not be always a state; India was not a state before August, 1947.

A state may be larger than a nation. The former USSR had, within it, more than a hundred nationalities.
Conversely, a nation may be larger than a state; a nationality may spread over two states. The Korean nationality is spread over two states: North Korea and South Korea.

Hence both statements are correct.
