With reference to the religious history of India, consider the following statements:1.Sautrantika and Sammitiya were the sects of Jainism.2.Sarvastivadin held that the constituents of phenomena were not wholly momentary, but existed forever in a latent form.Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

1. A

   1 only

   Option (a) is 1 only. Sautrantika and Sammitiya were schools of Buddhism, not Jainism. Sautrantikas relied on sutra as authority; Sammitiyas were a Pudgalavada Buddhist group. Statement 1 is therefore false, so this option is not the key.

2. B

   2 only

   Statement 2 is correct: the Sarvastivadins held sarvam asti — dharmas exist in past, present and future, so constituents of phenomena are not wholly snuffed out as mere instants but persist in a latent or tri-temporal way. Statement 1 is false because those sects are Buddhist. Hence 2 only is the official key.

3. C

   Both 1 and 2

   Option (c) is both 1 and 2. The Buddhist identity of Sautrantika and Sammitiya makes statement 1 wrong, so both cannot be correct. This option is not the key.

4. D

   Neither 1 nor 2

   Option (d) is neither. Statement 2 on Sarvastivada is a standard point in Indian Buddhist philosophy, so the neither choice fails. This option is therefore wrong.

Summary. Official key is (b) 2 only. Sautrantika and Sammitiya belong to the Buddhist sangha, not to Jain orders. Sarvastivada taught that dharmas exist in all three times, against a purely momentary reading. Jainism’s well-known schools are Svetambara and Digambara (and related sub-sects), not these two names. Only statement 2 survives.
