4 DEC FS Q.7
- Option : D
- Explanation : Savyabhicara literally means 'irregular middle' .
According to the Nyaya system of religious
philosophy, savyabhicara hetvabhasa occurs
when a syllogism has an irregular middle
term, which makes the inference incorrect, as
illustrated below:
• All cars are trucks.
• Buses are cars.
• Hence, buses are trucks.
Since the middle term 'cars' is not uniformly related to the major term 'trucks', the conclusion is inferred to be incorrect.
