Correct answer: B. Begging the Questionआत्माश्रय दोष (Begging the Question)
Explanation
The 'reason' (knowledge that cannot be practised is not knowledge) just restates the conclusion (all knowledge can be practised) in other words. Assuming what is to be proved is begging the question (petitio principii).यहाँ 'कारण' (जिस ज्ञान का व्यवहार न हो सके वह ज्ञान नहीं है) केवल निष्कर्ष (सभी ज्ञान व्यवहार में लाया जा सकता है) को दूसरे शब्दों में दोहराता है। जिसे सिद्ध करना है उसे ही मान लेना आत्माश्रय दोष (Begging the Question) है।More Logical Reasoning questions
