Statement II:The Nyaya syllogism is deductive-inductive and formal-material.

BBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect

CStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

DStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect while Statement 2 is correct.

The Aristotelian syllogism is deductive and formal, not inductive.

So describing it as only inductive makes Statement 1 false.

The Nyaya syllogism combines deduction with induction and form with matter.

Statement 2 rightly calls it deductive-inductive and formal-material.
