Correct answer: A. Asiddhaअसिद्ध
Explanation
The subject (paksa) 'sky-lotus' does not exist, so the reason cannot be established in it. This is Asiddha (specifically asrayasiddha – the unproved reason whose locus is unreal).पक्ष 'आकाश-कमल' का अस्तित्व ही नहीं है, इसलिए हेतु उसमें सिद्ध नहीं हो सकता। यह असिद्ध हेत्वाभास है (विशेषतः आश्रयासिद्ध – जिसका आश्रय असत् हो)।More Logical Reasoning questions
