According to Nyaya (classical Indian school of logic) which of the following is an example of Badhit fallacy (non-inferentially contradicted middle)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Badhita is the fallacy where the conclusion is contradicted by a stronger, non-inferential source of knowledge such as perception. "Fire is cold" is directly refuted by touch, so the reason is a badhita hetu. "Sound is quality because it is visible" illustrates svarupasiddha and "Sound is eternal because it is produced" a viruddha type of defect.
