Q. Which of the following statements relate to the Advaita Vedanta school of Hindu philosophy?
  1. It asserts that the Supreme Cosmic Spirit is the One, the whole and the only reality.
  2. It advocates the 'neti-neti' (not this, not this) approach.
  3. It opposes the Mimamsa school of thought.
Select the correct option from the codes given below:

Answer: 1, 2 & 3
Notes: Advaita Vedanta, propounded by Adi Shankara, teaches non-dualism—asserting the identity of Atman and Brahman, the one ultimate reality. It uses the 'neti-neti' approach to indicate Brahman cannot be defined positively. Advaita is in philosophical opposition to the Mimamsa school, which emphasizes ritual action over metaphysical realization.
