1. (a) What is the main subject matter of Logic?               1

Ans:- Reasoning is the main subject matter of logic.

(b) Is the conclusion of Unscientific Induction certain?               1

Ans:- The conclusion of Unscientific Induction is not certain.

(c) Is there ‘inductive leap’ in Perfect Induction?          1

Ans:- There is no ‘inductive leap’ in Perfect Induction.

(d) The Paradox of Induction is connected with the Principle of the Uniformity of Nature. Is it true?             1

Ans:- Yes, it is true.

(e) Which is the first stage of hypothesis suggested by Miss’s definition of hypothesis?               1

Ans:- Observation of facts is the first stage of hypothesis suggested by Mill’s definition of hypothesis.

(f) What is the meaning of ‘vera causa’?           1

Ans:- The term ‘vera causa’ literally means a true cause.

(g) What is the exact object of moral judgement?        1

Ans:- Voluntary actions and habitual actions are objects of moral judgement.

(h) Name the theory which states that the external world can be directly known.        1

Ans:- Naive realism states that the external world can be directly known.

(i) Is the conclusion of Method of Agreement certain?               1

Ans:- The conclusion of Method of Agreement is not certain.

(j) Ethics is a positive science. Is it true?            1

Ans:- No, it is not true.

 (k) From which Sanskrit root the word ‘Dharma’ is derived?   1

Ans:- ‘Dharma’ is derived from the Sanskrit root ‘dhri’ which means ‘to sustain.’

(l) Which principle of elimination forms the basis of Method of Agreement?   1

Ans:- “Whatever antecedent can be left out without prejudice to the effect can he no part of the cause.”

2. State two points of differences between deduction and induction.     2

Ans: - Logicians classify in terms of deduction and expulsion: -

(i) The premises in deduction are considered correct, while the induction complex derives from experience.

(ii) The objective of deduction is only on formal truth while the purpose of induction is on formal and physical truth. The question in deduction is whether the conclusion is necessarily from the given premises.

3. Why the law of causation is called the formal ground of induction?    2

Ans: - The law of work-cause guarantees the formal truth of inductive generalizations.

There are some theories, known as the canons of elimination, that serve as the cause of deduction and these canons form the foundation of our inquiry into the cause of an event. To find out whether one event is the actual cause of other events, we need to check whether it corresponds to the elimination compartment. Therefore, the formal truth of inductions depends on Cannes' observance. Since these are truncated due to canon law, we conclude that the termination of the law is a formal basis of induction.

4. Define Scientific Induction.                   2

Ans: Scientific induction is the establishment of a general substantive proposition, which is based on the observation of particular examples in reliance on the principle of uniformity of nature and law of causation. Example: All the mean are mortal.

5. State any two qualitative marks of causation.              2

Ans:- Two qualitative marks of cause:

(i) The cause is relative to a given phenomenon called the effect.

(ii) The cause and effect are always events in time.

Or

Define conjunction of causes with an example.             2

Ans:- The acting together of several causes, producing a joint effect is called conjunction of causes.

For example:

Hydrogen and oxygen are mixed together in certain proportion and electric current passed, the joint effect is water. So, several causes acting together, produce a joint effect is called conjunction of causes.

6. How many types of verification are there in a hypothesis and what are these?             2

Ans:- Vertication of a hypothesis may be done in two ways –

(i) By direct observation or experiment and

(ii) Indirect verification.

Direct verification consists in direct observation or direct experiment of fact. Verification is indirect, when we cannot directly observe the supposed cause, but only the consequences deduced from it.

Or

What do you mean by analogical hypothesis?                               2

Ans:- Analog hypothesis means a hypothesis that what is true in one set of events may be true in another set of events, both sets have certain formal properties. For example: Maxwell established his electromagnetic theory based on the similarity between gravity and electrostatics.

7. Write two criticisms of Native Realism.                           2

Ans:- Two criticisms of Native Realism:-

(a) Naive Realism gives over emphasis on perception.

(b) Naive Realism cannot explain error, confusion, hallucinations etc.

8. Give a definition of Idealism in your own words.                        2

Ans:- According to idealism, the mind is the primary reality. Our ideas are not representations of external of objects independent of minds.

9. Distinguish between fallacy of non-observation and fallacy of mal-observation.                          2

Ans: There are two types of observation both non-observation and observation, yet there are some differences among them.

There are two main points of difference: -

(A) In non-observation we overlook some things that should be observed. However, if we accidentally observe, we do not consider anything as it appears.

(B) In non-observation, the necessary examples and circumstances of an event are neglected by us and thus we make an error. In non-observation, the thing is completely ignored. In non-observation we have a misinterpretation of the sense. Noting is neglected by us. Only we see the thing wrongly.

10. Write two advantages of observation as the material ground of Induction.   1+1=2

Ans: - There are three advantages of observation on experiment:

(i) First, observation can be universally applied and has a wider scope than experimentation. There are some events that cannot be reproduced artificially.

(ii) Observation enables us to not fall back from cause to effect as well as from cause to effect and from cause to effect.
