Correct answer: A. This hill has smoke which is invariably associated with fireइस पर्वत में धुआँ है, जो निरपवाद रूप से अग्नि से संबद्ध है।
Explanation
The five-membered Nyaya inference: pratijna 'The hill has fire'; hetu 'Because it has smoke'; udaharana 'Whatever has smoke has fire, e.g. an oven'; upanaya 'This hill has smoke which is invariably associated with fire'; nigamana 'Therefore the hill has fire'. Hence upanaya is 'This hill has smoke which is invariably associated with fire'.न्याय का पंचावयव अनुमान: प्रतिज्ञा 'पर्वत में अग्नि है'; हेतु 'क्योंकि इसमें धुआँ है'; उदाहरण 'जहाँ धुआँ है वहाँ अग्नि है, जैसे चूल्हा'; उपनय 'इस पर्वत में धुआँ है, जो निरपवाद रूप से अग्नि से संबद्ध है'; निगमन 'अतः पर्वत में अग्नि है'। अतः उपनय है 'इस पर्वत में धुआँ है, जो निरपवाद रूप से अग्नि से संबद्ध है'।More Logical Reasoning questions
