Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
A valid Nyaya inference requires an established subject, a reason present in that subject, and an unconditional relation of invariable concomitance between the reason and the property to be proved.
A hetvabhasa arises when one of these conditions fails. Ashrayasiddha concerns a nonexistent subject; Svarupasiddha an absent reason; Vyaptatvasiddha a conditional pervasion; and Asadharana Savyabhichara a reason confined to the subject alone.
Application
Match | Diagnosis |
|---|---|
A → II | a sky-lotus is nonexistent, so the locus itself is unestablished. |
B → III | fire is not invariably accompanied by smoke; smoke depends on a condition such as wet fuel. |
C → IV | visibility is absent from sound, so the stated reason is not present in the subject. |
D → I | audibility is confined to sound and supplies no comparable positive or negative instance for establishing eternality. |
Cross-check
The four diagnoses test four different failure points—locus, presence of the reason, unconditional pervasion, and availability of comparison instances—so each example receives exactly one classification.
Result
Therefore, the matching is A–II, B–III, C–IV, D–I.
