Given below are two statements. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Statement I:The Nyaya syllogism is only inductive and material.

Statement II:The Aristotelian syllogism is only deductive and formal.

ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true

BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false

CStatement I is true but Statement II is false

DStatement I is false but Statement II is true ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Explanation

Statement 1 is false while Statement 2 is true.

The Nyaya syllogism is both deductive and inductive, and both formal and material, not merely inductive and material.

Calling it only inductive and material misstates its combined character.

The Aristotelian syllogism, by contrast, is purely deductive and formal.

So the second description holds while the first does not.
