Correct answer: (B) 1, 3 and 5 only — The correct statements are 1, 3 and 5 only.
Explanation
★The correct statements are 1, 3 and 5 only.
★A Buddhist believes in the three jewels, the Buddha, the Dhamma and the Sangha, to seek nirvana.
★Both the Theravadins and the Mahayanists believe in the teachings of the Buddha.
★Ashoka's Lion Capital was first installed in Sarnath near Varanasi and is the national emblem of India.
★The Buddha delivered his first sermon at Sarnath, not Bodhgaya, so the fourth statement is wrong.
★Sariputra and Tathagata are not two different people, since Tathagata is a title of the Buddha and Sariputra was his disciple, so the second statement is wrong.
