Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
A process in which when or more logical statements are required to reach over a certain logical conclusion is known as deductive reasoning.
For example, if 60 seconds are in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, and 24 hours in a day, then we can conclude that there are 86,400 seconds are in a day.
On the other hand, a process where an individual makes generalized decisions on the basis of his observation about a certain thing is known as an inductive reasoning.
For example, a 10 year old boy saw a brown color mice so he conclude that all mice are brown in color.
Therefore, we can conclude that the given reasoning, if 60 seconds are in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, and 24 hours in a day, then 86,400 seconds are in a day, is deductive reasoning.
the process of making generalized decisions after observing, or witnessing, repeated specific instances of something.
