Which of the following is NOT a pramāṇa in the Nyāya system?
Show Hint
- Anupalabdhi (Non-apprehension)
- Upamāna (Comparison)
- Anumāna (Inference)
- Pratyakṣa (Perception)
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The Nyāya system recognizes four valid means of knowledge: Pratyakṣa (perception), Anumāna (inference), Upamāna (comparison), and Śabda (verbal testimony).
Step 2: Evaluating the options.
Options (B), (C), and (D) are explicitly accepted pramāṇas in Nyāya epistemology.
Step 3: Identifying the incorrect pramāṇa.
Anupalabdhi (non-apprehension) is accepted as a pramāṇa in other systems such as Mīmāṃsā, but not in Nyāya.
Step 4: Conclusion.
Therefore, option (A) is NOT a pramāṇa in the Nyāya system.
Final Answer: (A)

- An organization allows its employees to work independently on consultancy projects but charges an overhead on the consulting fee.
The overhead is 20% of the consulting fee if the fee is up to ₹5,00,000.
For higher fees, the overhead is ₹1,00,000 plus 10% of the amount by which the fee exceeds ₹5,00,000.
The government charges a Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 18% on the total amount (i.e., the consulting fee plus the overhead).
An employee of the organization charges this entire amount — that is, the consulting fee, overhead, and tax — to the client.
If the client cannot pay more than ₹10,00,000, what is the maximum consulting fee that the employee can charge? Eight students (P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, and W) are playing musical chairs.
