Which of the following statements is/are true regarding Nyaya logic?
- Inference is from the universal to the particular only
- Inference is from the particular to the universal only
- Inference is from the particular to the particular only
- Inference is from the particular through the universal
A4 only ✓ Correct
B1 only
C1 & 2 only
D2 & 4 only
Correct answer: (A) 4 only — The answer is 4 only.
Explanation
★The answer is 4 only.
★In Nyaya, inference moves from one particular to another particular by way of a universal rule.
★Seeing smoke on a hill, one recalls the universal that smoke goes with fire and infers fire on that hill.
★So inference is from the particular through the universal, which is item 4.
★It is not purely from universal to particular or particular to universal.
★So only item 4 is true of Nyaya logic.
★So the answer is 4 only.
