Explanation:
The error in the sentence lies in the usage of the pronoun "his" in the first part of the sentence. The pronoun "his" is used to refer to a singular masculine noun, but in this sentence, it is unclear who or what "his" is referring to. Therefore, it is grammatically incorrect to use "his" in this context.
Corrected Sentence:
One of the firmest beliefs among the Hindus is that karma affects life and also the life after death.
Reasoning:
- The sentence discusses a belief held by Hindus about karma and its impact on life and the afterlife.
- The correct phrase "among the Hindus" is used to specify the group of people who hold this belief.
- The verb "is" is used to agree with the singular noun "belief."
- The conjunction "and" is used to connect the two parts of the belief, i.e., its impact on life and the afterlife.
- The sentence does not contain any other errors and is grammatically correct.

When the+ plural is used we use plural noun
as:- the Hindus
that's why beliefs will be used instead of belief.
