Q. Consider the following statements:

1. Both Asaṅga and Vasubandhu were proponents of Yogacara tradition.
2. Both Yogacara and Madhyamaka are significant traditions of Mahayana Buddhism.

Which of the above is/are correct?
Answer: Both 1 and 2
Notes: Asaṅga and Vasubandhu are fundamental figures of the Yogācāra school, a significant branch of Mahayana Buddhism. In contrast, the Madhyamaka school, separate from Yogācāra, emphasizes 'emptiness' (śūnyatā) and critiques inherent existence. Both statements accurately depict key teachings distinguishing these influential Buddhist traditions, so both 1 and 2 are correct.
