Q: Select the wrong statement(s) about types of hetvÄbhÄsa (fallacious middle) in Nyaya:
(A) SavyabhicÄra hetu is irregular, because the hetu is present in cases where the sÄdhya is absent;
(B) Satpratipakį¹£a hetu faces an equally strong counter-reason leading to the opposite conclusion;
(C) BÄdhita hetu is a reason that is contradicted by stronger evidence (e.g., perception), so it cannot establish the sÄdhya;
(D) AsÄdhÄraį¹a hetu is common to many instances and therefore ideal for inference;
(E) In UGC NET, examples may mix different types of hetvÄbhÄsa and ask which label fits best;
