The sentence is FALSE.

Even though critical thinking is crucial if we want to solve a problem in the most efficient way, they are not the same thing. Critical thinking is a way of analyzing and thinking about circumstances with a clear and reflective intention while problem-solving is the process of finding a solution to a problem.

Problem solving is a part of critical thinking, but overall critical thinking is more about analyzing and observing different aspects of a situation.
