Given below are two statements. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Statement I:In the classical Indian school, induction affirms the major premise because universality cannot be perceived.
Statement II:Classical Indian logicians give a separate treatment of the inductive method.
ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true
BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false ✓ Correct
CStatement I is true but Statement II is false
DStatement I is false but Statement II is true
Correct answer: (B) Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Explanation
Both claims misdescribe classical Indian logic, so each is false.
Indian logicians do not split reasoning into a separate deductive and a separate inductive process.
Establishing the universal relation and applying it form one continuous act of inference.
For the same reason they offer no isolated, self-standing treatment of induction.
Treating induction as a detached method contradicts this blended character of their logic.
