Correct answer: D. The hill has smoke which is invariably associated with fireपर्वत पर धुआँ है जो सदैव अग्नि से व्याप्त है
Explanation
The five members of Nyaya inference are: Pratijna (the hill has fire), Hetu (because it has smoke), Udaharana (whatever has smoke has fire, e.g. an oven), Upanaya – application of the rule to the case (the hill has smoke which is invariably associated with fire), and Nigamana (therefore the hill has fire).न्याय के पंचावयव अनुमान के अवयव हैं: प्रतिज्ञा (पर्वत पर अग्नि है), हेतु (क्योंकि उस पर धुआँ है), उदाहरण (जहाँ धुआँ है वहाँ अग्नि है, जैसे चूल्हा), उपनय – नियम का पक्ष पर प्रयोग (पर्वत पर धुआँ है जो सदैव अग्नि से व्याप्त है), और निगमन (अतः पर्वत पर अग्नि है)।More Logical Reasoning questions
