BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
CStatement I is true but Statement II is false ✓ Correct
DStatement I is false but Statement II is true
Correct answer: (C) Statement I is true but Statement II is false — The answer is that Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
Explanation
★The answer is that Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
★The Aristotelian syllogism is essentially verbal in form, so Statement I is true.
★The Nyaya system holds that the verbal form is not the essence of inference; inference for oneself needs no words.
★So the claim that Nyaya treats the verbal form as the essence makes Statement II false.
★Thus only the first statement holds.
★For Nyaya, verbal statement matters only for convincing others.
★So the answer is that Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
