Correct answer: (D) Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct — The answer is that Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
Explanation
★The answer is that Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
★Classical Indian logicians do not treat deduction and induction as two wholly separate processes; they are interwoven in inference.
★So the claim that they are kept separate makes Statement I incorrect.
★These logicians hold that inference for oneself needs no verbal form.
★So Statement II is correct.
★Thus only the second statement is correct.
★So the answer is that Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
