    Explanation:

    Buddhism through its doctrine of middle path calls for avoidance of extremities of indulgence as well as penace. But Jainism focuses on extreme penace as means of salvation so statement 1 is wrong.

    However both religions rose in opposition to the Brahmanism and therefore were against its ritualistic aspects and denied the authority of vedas
