Given below are two statements:
Statement I: In Ancient times, Nalanda attained greatest and most brilliant achievements in the field of logic.
Statement II: Each professor in Nalanda had charge of one subject only.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
The correct answer is Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
This is an assertion-pair question, so each statement must be judged on its own before the verdict is chosen.
Statement I — that in ancient times Nalanda attained its greatest and most brilliant achievements in the field of logic — is accepted as correct. Although Nalanda taught many subjects, it is specifically celebrated in the historical tradition for its towering contributions to logic (nyaya / hetuvidya); great logicians associated with it made it the foremost centre of that discipline, so the statement stands.
Statement II — that each professor at Nalanda had charge of one subject only — is also accepted as correct in the received account of the university's organisation. The teaching was arranged so that a professor specialised in and took responsibility for a single subject, giving depth of expertise within a highly organised academic structure.
Since both statements are individually true, the fitting choice is the one affirming that both are correct. The option calling both incorrect is ruled out, as is either option that accepts one statement while rejecting the other, because neither statement is false.
Hence the answer is: Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
