Key Points

Statement I: An inference is called kevala̅nvayi when it is based on a middle term, which is only positively related to the major term.

  • When vyapti between the middle and the major term is derived from uniform agreement in presence alone, it is called Kevalanvayi inference.
  • Here the knowledge of vyapti between the middle terms and major terms is arrived at only through the method of agreement in presence (anvaya) since there is no negative instance of their agreement in their absence.

Hence statement I is correct.

Statement II: In Kevala̅nvayi, the knowledge of vya̅pti between the middle and major terms are arrived at only through the method of agreement in presence.

  • In this inference, the major premise is a universal affirmative proposition in which the predicate 'nameable' is affirmed of all knowable objects.
  • the universal proposition is arrived at by simple enumeration of positive instances of agreement in the presence between the knowable and the nameable.

Hence statement II is correct.

Therefore we can conclude that both statements I and II are correct.

Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives.
The human eye is a complex part of the body that is used for seeing. Eyes enable people to perform daily tasks and to learn about the world that surrounds them. Sight, or vision, is a rapidly occurring process that involves continuous interaction between the eye, the nervous system, and the brain. When someone looks at an object, what he really sees is the light reflected from the object. This reflected light passes through the lens and falls on the retina of the eye. Here the light induces nerve impulses that travel through the optic nerve to the brain and then over other nerves to muscles and glands.
The eye is similar to a television camera. Both the eye and the television camera convert light energy to electrical energy. The eye converts light to nerve impulses that are interpreted by the brain as the sense perception called sight. A television camera converts light to electronic signals that are broadcast and transformed into light images in a television receiver. It is wonderful that human eyes blink an average of once every six seconds. This washes the eye with the salty secretion from the tear or lachrymal glands. Each tear gland is about the size and shape of an almond. These glands are situated behind the upper eyelid at the outer corner of the eye. After passing over the eye, the liquid from the gland is drained into the nose through the tear duct at the inner corner of the eye. The sense perception that the brain releases after the eye converts light to nerve impulses is known as
Given below are two statements: Statement I: “Every thinkable is nameable. because it is thinkable”. This is a fallacious argument because there can be no inference where the minor and the middle terms are the same. Statement II: The fallacy committed in this statement is called the extra-ordinary (asa̅dha̅rana) because the middle term does not belong to anything other than the present minor term. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
