Correct answer: B. Inferenceअनुमान (Inference)
Explanation
The conclusion is reached from a universal relation – whatever is an effect has an intelligent cause – applied to the world. Moving from an observed mark to an unobserved conclusion is anumana (inference), not direct perception, comparison or testimony.यहाँ निष्कर्ष एक व्याप्ति संबंध से निकाला गया है – जो भी कार्य है उसका कोई बुद्धिमान कारण होता है – और उसे जगत् पर लागू किया गया है। दृष्ट हेतु (लिंग) से अदृष्ट साध्य तक पहुँचना अनुमान प्रमाण है, न कि प्रत्यक्ष, उपमान या शब्द।More Logical Reasoning questions
