Given below are two statements:
Statement I: According to Rig Ved, if there is an oblique line below a letter, it should be considered Anudatt.
Statement II: 'Swarankan' system of the Vedas is considered as the origin of 'Swarlipi' System.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct option is A

Correct Option: a)
Vedic chanting is the earliest form of Indian musical expression. It used a sophisticated system of accents and notation to preserve the precise pronunciation and intonation of sacred hymns.
Information Booster:
· Statement I is true. In the oral tradition of the Rig Veda, three primary accents were used: Udatta (high), Anudatta (low), and Svarita (falling).
· The Anudatta was indeed indicated by an oblique line below the letter.
· Statement II is true. The 'Swarankan' system (the system of marking accents/swaras in the Vedas) is historically regarded as the origin of the concept of musical notation ('Swarlipi' System) in India.
· It represents the first attempt to visually represent pitch variation.
Additional Knowledge:
· Both statements are factually accurate as per musicological history, and Statement II provides a historical context that stems from the practice described in Statement I.
