Correct answer: A. Postulation (Arthāpatti)अर्थापत्ति (Postulation)
Explanation
Arthāpatti is postulating a fact that alone explains two apparently conflicting facts. Here 'alive' and 'not at home' are reconciled only by assuming she is elsewhere, the classic example of Postulation (Arthāpatti), like 'fat Devadatta does not eat by day'.अर्थापत्ति में दो परस्पर विरोधी प्रतीत होने वाले तथ्यों की व्याख्या के लिए किसी तथ्य की कल्पना की जाती है। यहाँ 'जीवित है' और 'घर पर नहीं है' का समाधान केवल यह मानकर होता है कि वह कहीं और है, यह अर्थापत्ति का प्रसिद्ध उदाहरण है, जैसे 'मोटा देवदत्त दिन में नहीं खाता'।More Logical Reasoning questions
