write not less than 500 words

Answer 1

ANSWER:

Deductive reasoning

• Deductive Reasoning is a kind of calculation which works on deduction, start by means of a general statement and check the probabilities to get a logical and specific conclusion.
• Therefore the deductive reasoning starts with theory and reaches till the specific explanation by using the calculation for the incidents.
• This reasoning method follows the syllogisms. Suppose "Every Car is Ferrari " could be followed by one more "Every Vehicle is a Car" and conclusion can be come about as "Every Car is Ferrari"

Inductive reasoning

• The reasoning which makes vast generalizations beginning the defined explanation is called as Inductive Reasoning.
• As in the beginning one have some in order which information then development into conclusion, this is the way of thinking logic behind it.
• therefore , we can say that in the inductive reasoning we go to the essential from the definite comments or conclusions while in deductive reasoning the things are absolutely opposite for the reason that there we go to final observations from basics.

Example:

•   The dollar which I take from the plastic bag is ceiling.
• That dollar is a ceiling. A third currency I took is a ceiling.

Therefore,

the all currency which I have in my paper bag is ceiling.
