Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): Maharşi Kanāda founded Nyāya Darśana Reason (R): Maharși Jaimini founded Mimämsä

• A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
• B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
• C. A is correct but (R) is not correct
• D. A is not correct but (R) is correct

Hint:

Kanāda founded Vaisheshika, while Gautama founded Nyāya philosophy.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1:
Kanāda founded Vaisheshika Darśana, not Nyāya Darśana. Thus, Assertion (A) is incorrect.

Step 2:
Maharshi Jaimini is indeed regarded as the founder of Mimamsa philosophy. Hence, Reason (R) is correct.

Step 3:
Nyāya Darśana was founded by Gautama.

Step 4:
Therefore: \[ \boxed{\text{A is not correct but (R) is correct}} \] Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{\text{(4)}} \]
