1In classical Nyaya philosophy, a pramana is best defined as:

A.A synonym for liberation (moksha)

B.Any opinion held by a majority of scholars

C.A ritual formula used only in Vedic sacrifice

D.A valid means or instrument of knowledge

Explanation: Pramana (prama-karana) is a means of valid knowledge (prama). Classical Nyaya accepts four pramanas: pratyaksha (perception), anumana (inference), upamana (comparison), and shabda (verbal testimony). The term names how knowledge is obtained, not ritual or liberation itself.

2How many pramanas (means of valid knowledge) does classical Nyaya accept?

A.Two

B.Three

C.Four

D.Six

Explanation: Nyaya accepts four pramanas: pratyaksha, anumana, upamana, and shabda. Other systems differ—for example, Charvaka privileges perception, Buddhism typically two, Samkhya three, and some Mimamsa schools six—so the number four is a defining Nyaya marker.

3Which list correctly names the four Nyaya pramanas?

A.Pratyaksha, anumana, arthapatti, anupalabdhi

B.Shabda, smriti, tarka, samshaya

C.Dravya, guna, karma, samanya

D.Pratyaksha, anumana, upamana, shabda

Explanation: Nyaya's four are pratyaksha (perception), anumana (inference), upamana (comparison/analogy), and shabda (authoritative verbal testimony). Arthapatti and anupalabdhi are extra pramanas in some Mimamsa/Vedanta lists. Dravya–guna–karma–samanya are Vaisheshika categories, not pramanas.

4Pratyaksha in Nyaya primarily means knowledge arising from:

A.Direct sense–object contact (indriyartha-sannikarsha) producing perception

B.Scriptural citation without experience

C.Mere verbal definition of a word

D.Dream imagination alone

Explanation: Pratyaksha is perceptual knowledge produced through sense–object contact (and related conditions including the mind's role). Nyaya elaborates types of contact and ordinary vs extraordinary perception, but the core idea is direct cognition through the senses, not mere dreaming, scripture, or lexical definition.

5In Nyaya, nirvikalpaka pratyaksha is best described as:

A.Indeterminate perception of bare features prior to conceptual determination

B.Inference of fire from smoke

C.Verbal testimony from a trusted speaker

D.Determinate perception that already applies name and class concepts

Explanation: Nirvikalpaka pratyaksha is indeterminate perception—awareness of pure particulars or features without yet applying name, class, or relational determination. Savikalpaka pratyaksha is determinate perception that includes conceptual identification (e.g., 'this is a cow').

6Savikalpaka pratyaksha differs from nirvikalpaka pratyaksha because it:

A.Includes conceptual determination such as name, class, or quality ascription

B.Is only available to liberated persons

C.Is identical with verbal testimony

D.Rejects all sense data

Explanation: Savikalpaka (determinate) perception involves judgmental content—identifying an object with a name, class, quality, or relation (e.g., 'this is a blue pot'). Nirvikalpaka lacks that conceptual overlay. Both are modes of pratyaksha, not shabda.

7Alaukika pratyaksha in Nyaya refers to:

A.Extraordinary or non-ordinary forms of perception (beyond ordinary sense contact modes)

B.Any false cognition

C.Inference dressed up as perception

D.Only optical illusions

Explanation: Laukika pratyaksha is ordinary perception; alaukika pratyaksha covers extraordinary modes, traditionally including samanyalakshana (perceiving the universal via a particular), jnanalakshana (perception mediated by prior knowledge), and yogaja (yogic perception). It is not simply error or inference.

8Samanyalakshana is often taught as an alaukika perception in which one:

A.Apprehends the universal class character through contact with a particular instance

B.Infers past rain only from wet streets without any perception

C.Quotes a Veda mantra

D.Hears a sound without ears

Explanation: In samanyalakshana, contact with a particular (e.g., a cow) enables extraordinary perceptual grasp of the universal (cowness) as a class character relevant to all instances. It is discussed under extraordinary perception, not as mere inference or scripture.

9Anumana in Nyaya means:

A.Inferential knowledge based on a mark (linga/hetu) related to what is to be proved

B.Knowledge solely from dreams

C.Comparison of two similar objects only

D.Direct sensory contact only

Explanation: Anumana is inference: cognition of the sadhya (what is to be established) in a paksha (locus) through a hetu/linga that is known to be invariably related (vyapti) to the sadhya. The stock example is fire on the hill because of smoke.

10In the classic example 'There is fire on the hill because there is smoke,' the hetu (reason/mark) is:

A.The hill

B.Fire

C.Smoke

D.The speaker's intention

Explanation: The hetu (linga) is the known mark—smoke—through which fire (sadhya) is inferred as present on the hill (paksha). Students must keep paksha, hetu, and sadhya distinct: locus, reason, and property to be proved.
