According to Classical Indian School of Logic (Nyaya) which of the following argument involves the fallacy of Sadharana (middle term being too wide)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Sadharana is the type of savyabhichara fallacy where the middle term is too wide, being present in both similar and dissimilar instances. Knowability belongs to fiery and non-fiery things alike, so The hill has fire because it is knowable proves nothing. Being audible is too narrow and being produced proves the opposite of eternality.
