Indian inference types by correlation – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B and C define the three Nyaya types of inference by reference to positive and negative correlations, and D notes that in all cases the notion of vyāpti underlies inference. F is correct because UGC NET may present examples and ask which type they exemplify. E is false since Nyaya explicitly uses anvaya and vyatireka to help support vyāpti. Therefore A, B, C, D and F only is the correct combination.

Option A:
Option A is incomplete as it omits F, failing to mention the examination angle of identifying such inference types.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it omits C (anvayavyatireki), so it does not include all true statements.

Option C:
Option C is wrong because it includes E, which denies the role of anvaya/vyatireka in supporting vyāpti.

Option D:
Option D is correct because it includes all true statements and excludes the false one (E).
