Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept: A statement-pair question requires each proposition to be tested independently against the governing rule and its scope.
An absolute qualifier such as ‘only’ fails when the policy applies beyond the named group; the second proposition must still be judged separately.
Application
Statement I restricts CBCS adoption to central universities. UGC guidance made CBCS applicable across conventional-mode higher educational institutions, so the word ‘only’ makes this statement false.
Statement II links course credits with defined learning outcomes under the outcome-oriented CBCS framework. The official NTA key for this UGC NET item treats this statement as true.
Cross-check and contrast
‘Both Statement I and Statement II are true’ retains the unsupported restriction in Statement I.
‘Both Statement I and Statement II are false’ rejects the accepted learning-outcome characterization in Statement II.
‘Statement I is true but Statement II is false’ reverses both independent findings.
‘Statement I is false but Statement II is true’ matches the two independent evaluations.
Result: Therefore, Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
