Explanation:

The Bhakti saints emphasized on two ways of imaging the nature of the God viz. Nirguna and Saguna. Nirguna is the concept of a formless God, which has no attributes or quality. Saguna has form, attributes and quality. Both of these can be traced to the famous Vedic Hymn “Ekam sat vipra bahudha vadanti” – Truth is one; sages call it many names. It is the same God, but is viewed from two perspectives. One is Nirguni, which is knowledge focussed and other is Saguni which is love-focused. Thus, the Nirguna poetry is Gyanshrayi (has roots in knowledge) while Saguna poetry is Premashrayi (has roots in love).

in contrast to Q22 where it is said that kabir , nanak and dadu was from nirguna school, explanation in this question is saying that 'Dadu' NOT from Nirguna school. Both information are contracdictory. ( refer Explanation of Q22) .
