Answer:

The correct answer would be, Inductive Reasoning.

Step-by-step explanation:

In simple words, Inductive Reasoning is the reasoning in which the circumstances are generalized based on some evidence. For example, if you find a penny in your purse, you think that all the coins in your purse would be penny.

So in the given question, Rajiv is generalizing that every person in the other company gets more salary than him, based on the information about the salary which he got from his friends. No doubt the salary of his friends is more than his, but it does not mean that the salary of every person would be higher than him. So in this case, he is using Inductive Reasoning.
