CStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
DStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Correct answer: (A) Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
Explanation
Both counts of terms and members are accurate.
The Aristotelian syllogism has exactly three terms: major, minor and middle (Statement 1).
The Nyaya syllogism has five members: pratijna, hetu, udaharana, upanaya and nigamana (Statement 2).
Three terms describe the Aristotelian form; five members describe the Nyaya form.
Both structural statements therefore stand correct.
