With reference to vyapti (invariable concomitance) between smoke and fire, which of the following claims about a school is false?
AFor the Charvakas, it is possible to establish that smoke is necessarily and eternally present always with fire ✓ Correct
BFor the Buddhists, the general connection between smoke and fire can be ascertained without examination in all cases
CFor the Vedantins, there is a pervasive concomitance between smoke and fire
DFor the Naiyayikas, it is neither easy nor necessary to establish a causal connection to make a general proposition
Correct answer: (A) For the Charvakas, it is possible to establish that smoke is necessarily and eternally present always with fire — The false claim is the one about the Charvakas, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★The false claim is the one about the Charvakas, so that is the answer.
★The Charvakas are sceptical about universal invariable concomitance.
★They doubt that any inference can guarantee a necessary, eternal link between smoke and fire.
★So saying the Charvakas can establish such a necessary link misrepresents them.
★That claim is therefore false.
★The statements about the Buddhists, Vedantins and Naiyayikas fairly reflect their positions.
