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 about inference for oneself hold true.

In svartha anumana the reasoner convinces only himself and states no formal members.

The five-membered verbal form is required only when persuading others.

Reaching the conclusion privately is a movement of thought within the mind.

Hence it is rightly described as a psychological process needing no set wording.
