- Option : A
- Explanation : Communication plays a vital role in human life. It enables the exchange of thoughts and ideas without which social activity is not possible. Animals too communicate in a very basic manner with sounds and movements. Man is differentiated as a social animal because human communication through language majorly enables social interaction. So, both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
- Option : B
- Explanation : In Anumana (inference), fallacies (hetvabhasa) may occur due to the following: (i) Asiddha: when hetu (ground) is unproved). (ii) Savyabhicara: When hetu is irregular. (iii) Satpratipaksa: Here the hetu is contradicted by another hetu. If both have equal force, then nothing follows. 'Sound is eternal, because it is audible', and 'Sound is noneternal, because it is produced'. Here 'audible' is counterbalanced by 'produced' and both are of equal force. (iv) Badhita: When another proof (as by perception) definitely contradicts and disproves the middle term (hetu). 'Fire is cold because it is a substance'. (v) Viruddha: Instead of proving something it is proving the opposite. 'Sound is eternal because it is produced'.
