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 answer: (A) Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Explanation
Both statements are true.
Aristotelian logic emphasises the verbal expression of inference, hence it is called verbalistic.
For Nyaya the verbal form is not the essence of inference itself.
The stated five-membered syllogism (pararthanumana) uses words only to convince another person.
Inference for oneself (svarthanumana) needs no verbal formulation at all.
