Correct answer: A. Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of AA और R दोनों सही हैं और R, A की सही व्याख्या है
Explanation
In Indian logic the fallacies of inference are called hetvabhasa, and the word itself means 'hetu (reason) that merely appears (abhasa) to be a reason'. So A is correct and R is correct; moreover R states exactly why such an inference is called hetvabhasa. Hence both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.भारतीय तर्कशास्त्र में अनुमान के दोषों को हेत्वाभास कहा जाता है, और यह शब्द स्वयं बताता है — 'हेतु जो केवल आभास मात्र हो'। अतः A सही है और R भी सही है; इसके अतिरिक्त R ठीक वही कारण बताता है जिससे ऐसे अनुमान को हेत्वाभास कहा जाता है। अतः A और R दोनों सही हैं और R, A की सही व्याख्या है।More Logical Reasoning questions
