Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Correct Answer: C Statement I: is true. According to Nyaya philosophy, Arthapatti (presumption) is not considered an independent source of knowledge but is reduced to a type of inference. Statement II: is false. In Nyaya, Arthapatti is not classified as a type of anvayi inference. Anvayi inference in Nyaya refers to a specific type of inference based on positive concomitance.
