List I
- Paksa
- Sadhya
- Linga
List II
- Middle term
- Major term
- Minor term
AI-a, II-b, III-c
BI-b, II-a, III-c
CI-c, II-b, III-a ✓ Correct
DI-a, II-c, III-b
Correct answer: (C) I-c, II-b, III-a — The correct match is I-c, II-b, III-a, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★The correct match is I-c, II-b, III-a, so that is the answer.
★Paksa is the locus or subject of the inference, matching the minor term.
★Sadhya is what is to be proved, matching the major term.
★Linga (the sign or hetu) is the mark that mediates, matching the middle term.
★So Paksa goes with the minor, Sadhya with the major, and Linga with the middle term.
★So the answer is I-c, II-b, III-a.
