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

  • Option : A
  • Explanation : In the argument, 'Sound is permanent because it is a product like the jar'; the probandum (that is to be proved) 'permanent' is absent in the subject and so it involves the fallacy of contradiction (badha) and the probans (reason/evidence) is called contradicted probans (badhita).
