BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false

CStatement I is true but Statement II is false ✓ Correct

DStatement I is false but Statement II is true

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

Explanation

The naming is right, but svartha anumana need not be put into language.

Inference for oneself is indeed called svartha anumana (Statement 1 holds).

Svartha is a private, psychological process by which one reaches conviction.

Only parartha anumana, inference for others, takes the linguistic five-membered form.

So the claim that svartha must be presented in language is false (Statement 2 fails).
