- Pratyaksha, perception
- Anumana, inference
- Upamana, comparison and analogy
- Arthapatti, implication
- Anupalabdhi, apprehension
- Sabda, non-verbal testimony
A1 and 3
B2, 3 and 4
C5 and 6 ✓ Correct
D2, 4 and 6
Correct answer: (C) 5 and 6 — Items 5 and 6 are wrongly identified, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Items 5 and 6 are wrongly identified, so that is the answer.
★Anupalabdhi is non-apprehension, not 'apprehension', so item 5 is wrong.
★Sabda is verbal testimony, not 'non-verbal testimony', so item 6 is wrong.
★The first four are correctly matched with their meanings.
★So the two incorrectly identified pramanas are 5 and 6.
★So the answer is 5 and 6.
