Correct answer: C. A, C, D and E onlyकेवल A, C, D और E
Explanation
In Nyāya the middle term (hetu) and major term (sādhya) are linked by vyāpti, an invariable (necessary) concomitance, so a contingent relation is not enough (A true, B false). Such an invariable relation may be causal (smoke–fire), species–genus, or member–class. Answer as per the key: A, C, D and E only.न्याय दर्शन में हेतु (मध्य पद) और साध्य के बीच व्याप्ति का संबंध होता है, जो अनिवार्य (नियत) सहचार है, अतः आकस्मिक संबंध पर्याप्त नहीं (A सत्य, B असत्य)। यह नियत संबंध कारणात्मक (धुआँ–अग्नि), जाति-वंश या सदस्य-वर्ग का हो सकता है। कुंजी के अनुसार उत्तर: केवल A, C, D और E।More Logical Reasoning questions
