Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
In both Jainism and Buddhism, there are four stages of life. These stages represented the life cycle, with different stages appearing at different ages: Brahmacharya, Grihastha, Vanaprastha, and Sannyasa. Brahmacharya was the first stage in which a simple life was led, and the Vedas were studied. Next, a person has to marry and live as a householder in the Grihastha ashram. Then, people in the vanaprastha ashram must live in the wilderness and meditate. The final stage was sannyasa, in which everything was given up to become a sanyasi.
The correct statement would be There were four stages of life in Jainism and Buddhism.
