Correct answer: B. Because it has smokeक्योंकि, इसमें धुआँ है।
Explanation
In the Nyaya five-membered syllogism: pratijna = 'This hill has fire', hetu = 'Because it has smoke', udaharana = 'Wherever there is smoke there is fire, as in a kitchen', upanaya = 'This hill has smoke invariably associated with fire', and nigamana = 'Therefore this hill has fire'. The key shows A, which is the nigamana (conclusion).न्याय के पंचावयव अनुमान में: प्रतिज्ञा = 'इस पर्वत में अग्नि है', हेतु = 'क्योंकि इसमें धुआँ है', उदाहरण = 'जहाँ धुआँ है वहाँ अग्नि है, जैसे रसोई', उपनय = 'इस पर्वत में अग्नि से नियमतः संबद्ध धुआँ है', और निगमन = 'इसलिए इस पर्वत में अग्नि है'। कुंजी में A दिया है, जो निगमन (निष्कर्ष) है।More Logical Reasoning questions
