Given below are two statements. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Statement I:Indian Logic makes a distinction between deduction and induction

Statement II:Indian Logic studies thought as such and not the forms of thought

ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true

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

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

Explanation

Statement 1 is false while Statement 2 is true.

Indian logic does not draw a sharp line between deduction and induction.

Its inference (anumana) blends the universal rule with its application to a case.

So the claim that Indian logic separates the two is incorrect.

Indian logic does study thought as such, aiming at valid knowledge rather than mere forms.

Being concerned with thought itself and not just formal patterns, Statement 2 holds.
