    Question

    What among the following can be said about the fallacy of Savyabhicara (irregular middle)?

    A.

    It leads to a single conclusion

    B.

    The hetu in it is uniformly constant with the major term

    C.

    The hetu in it is only related to the non-existence of the major term

    D.

    It leads to different opposite conclusions

    Correct option is D

    The Savyabhicara (irregular middle) fallacy occurs when the middle term in a syllogism is used in an inconsistent or irregular manner, leading to contradictory or opposite conclusions. In this fallacy, the middle term is either improperly related to the major term or used in different senses, causing the argument to break down and lead to opposite conclusions.

    Information Booster:

    1. The fallacy arises when the middle term in a syllogistic argument is not used consistently, leading to incorrect or conflicting conclusions.
    2. This fallacy often results in two conflicting or opposite conclusions because the reasoning is inconsistent.
    3.  If one argument uses the middle term in one sense in one premise and a different sense in another premise, the argument may lead to opposite conclusions.
    4. This is an example of an invalid syllogism, where the structure of the argument does not maintain logical consistency between premises.
