Correct answer: D. Viruddhaविरुद्ध
Explanation
Whatever is caused (produced) is non-eternal, so the reason 'being caused' actually proves the opposite of the conclusion 'sound is eternal'. A reason that establishes the contrary of what is to be proved is the Viruddha (contradictory) hetvabhasa.जो कुछ उत्पन्न (कृतक) है वह अनित्य होता है, अतः हेतु 'कृतक होना' निष्कर्ष 'शब्द नित्य है' के विपरीत को सिद्ध करता है। जो हेतु साध्य के विपरीत को सिद्ध करे, वह विरुद्ध हेत्वाभास है।More Logical Reasoning questions
