Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R). In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Assertion (A):In samanyatodrsta inference, the universal relation between the major and middle term depends on causal uniformity.
Reason (R):The middle term of the inference is related to the major term neither as a cause nor as an effect.
ABoth A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
BBoth A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A
CA is correct but R is not correct
DA is not correct but R is correct ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) A is not correct but R is correct
Explanation
The Assertion is false: in samanyatodrsta the universal relation does not rest on causal uniformity.
Samanyatodrsta is precisely the inference whose middle and major are not linked as cause and effect.
Its concomitance rests on regular co-existence, not on causation, so the Assertion mistakes its basis.
The Reason is true: the middle term is related to the major neither as cause nor as effect.
The Assertion therefore fails while the Reason stands.
