Correct answer: B. Sound is eternal, because it is audibleशब्द (ध्वनि) नित्य है, क्योंकि वह श्रव्य है
Explanation
In Nyāya, the asādhāraṇa (uncommon) savyabhicāra hetu is too narrow: it is found only in the subject (paksha) and in no other similar or dissimilar case. 'Audibility' belongs to sound alone, so 'Sound is eternal, because it is audible' is the example. Option 1 is anupasaṁhārī (the middle term covers everything), and option 3 is a contradicted (bādhita) reason.न्याय दर्शन में असाधारण सव्यभिचार हेतु अत्यधिक संकीर्ण होता है: वह केवल पक्ष में रहता है, किसी अन्य सपक्ष या विपक्ष में नहीं। 'श्रव्यता' केवल शब्द में है, अतः 'शब्द नित्य है, क्योंकि वह श्रव्य है' इसका उदाहरण है। विकल्प 1 अनुपसंहारी है (हेतु सब कुछ व्याप्त करता है), और विकल्प 3 बाधित हेतु है।More Logical Reasoning questions
