21 June SS Q.27

0. Consider the argument given below:
"Sound is permanent because it is audible"
Identify the fallacy involved in the above argument on the basis of Indian logic from the options given below:

  • Option : A
  • Explanation : Though 'sound is audible' is true, it is a rather insignificant or trivial reason to support the statement 'Sound is permanent'.
    Fallacy of trivial reason: a reason given in support of a conclusion being very insignificant in establishing the truth or falsity of the conclusion.
    Fallacy of the irrelevant reason: a reason given in support of a conclusion being irrelevant to the truth or falsity of the conclusion.
    Fallacy of contradictory reason: a reason given in support of a conclusion being contradictory to the truth or falsity of the conclusion.
    Fallacy of wrong assertion: a reason repeatedly asserted as true despite being faulty.
