Solution:

Nyaya school is one of the six astika schools of Indian Philosophy. This school's most significant contributions to Indian philosophy were the systematic development of the theory of logic, methodology, etcAccording to Nyaya Philosophy, nothing is acceptable unless it is in accordance with reason and experience (scientific approach).Nyaya is regarded as a logical thinking technique. Important Points Statement I: The example (ud\(\overline{a}\)haran) is a special feature of the Nyaya syllogism and it illustrates the truth that the universal major premise is the result of a real induction.Inductive reasoning is a method of reasoning in which a body of observations is analyzed to come up with a general principle. It consists of making broad generalizations based on specific observations. Inductive reasoning is distinct from deductive reasoning.If the premises are correct, the conclusion of a deductive argument is certain; in contrast, the truth of the conclusion of an inductive argument is probable, based upon the evidence given.Thus statement I is true.Statement II: Induction in Nyaya's conception of inference is based on the law of causation and induction and deduction cannot really be separated Inference literally means knowledge that follows some other knowledge. Ny?ya philosophy considers inference as the second source of valid knowledge.Inferential knowledge can be explained with the typical example of inferring the presence of fire from the perception of smoke.Thus this statement II is true.Hence, both statements I and II are correct.
