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

Statement I:According to Nyaya philosophy, an argument proceeds only on those issues that are completely unknown

Statement II:According to Nyaya philosophy, an argument does not proceed on those issues that are well established

ABoth Statement I and Statement II are correct

BBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect

CStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

DStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect while Statement 2 is correct.

An argument in Nyaya does not begin with what is completely unknown.

A wholly unknown subject leaves no doubt to be resolved, so Statement 1 fails.

Argument instead operates on matters that are doubtful, not utterly unknown.

Well-established facts likewise call for no argument at all.

Since settled matters need no reasoning, Statement 2 correctly holds.
