UNIT APTITUDE
What is Reasoning?
Reasoning is the process of thinking about things in a logical, rational way. It is considered an innate
human ability that has been formalized by fields such as logic, mathematics and artificial intelligence.

Types of Reasoning:
1. Deductive reasoning:
Deductive reasoning is a method of proving a theory or hypothesis using formal logic and observations.
Deductive reasoning starts with a hypothesis that is then supported or disproved through observations
or rational thought.
A marketing division, for example, analyses data and confirms that their company's most important
demographic is young parents. They opt to give more of the marketing money to social media channels
that target that category based on this information.
For example, "All men are mortal. Harold is a man. Therefore, Harold is mortal." For deductive
reasoning to be sound, the hypothesis must be correct. It is assumed that the premises, "All men are
mortal" and "Harold is a man" are true. Therefore, the conclusion is logical and true.
2. Inductive reasoning:
To validate observations, inductive reasoning employs theories and assumptions. It's the polar opposite
of deductive reasoning in that it requires deducing a general rule from a specific case or cases.
Because it employs conclusions from observations to make generalisations, the outcomes of inductive
reasoning are not always certain. Extrapolation, forecasts, and part-to-whole arguments all benefit from
inductive reasoning.
An example of inductive logic is, "The coin I pulled from the bag is a 5 Rs Coin. Again I pulled its again
a coin of 5 Rs. A third coin from the bag is a 5 Rs Coin. Therefore, all the coins in the bag are 5 Rs Coin."
3. Analogical reasoning:
Analogical reasoning is a style of reasoning that looks for similarities between two or more objects and
then uses those similarities to find other properties they share. It is based on the brain's tendency to
notice patterns and make connections.
4. Abductive reasoning:
Abductive reasoning is a style of reasoning that reaches a logical conclusion based on an observation or
group of observations. Abductive reasoning is similar to inductive reasoning, but it allows you to make
the greatest estimates to get the simplest conclusions. Abduction can help with both troubleshooting
and decision-making, especially when dealing with uncertainties.
For example, a person walks into their living room and finds torn up papers all over the floor. The
person's dog has been alone in the room all day. The person concludes that the dog tore up the papers
because it is the most likely scenario. Now, the person's sister may have brought by his niece and she
may have torn up the papers, or it may have been done by the landlord, but the dog theory is the more
likely conclusion.

5. Cause-and-effect reasoning:
Cause-and-effect reasoning is a style of reasoning in which the relationship between two events is
demonstrated. This logic is used to describe what might happen if a certain action is taken or why certain
things happen when certain circumstances are met. When people draw on personal experience and a
drive to improve, this form of reasoning is frequently used to guide daily decision-making.
6. Critical thinking
Critical thinking is a process of rational thought that seeks to draw conclusions in an objective,
thorough and informed manner. It's a product of human thought and is influenced by factors such as
culture and language. Human thought is based on natural language that allows for a great range of
ideas to be contemplated. For example, critical thinking can be used to critique a film or book.
7. Decompositional reasoning:
Decompositional reasoning is the process of breaking things down into their basic components in order
to comprehend how each component contributes to the overall functionality of the object.
Decompositional reasoning allows an observer to derive powerful conclusions about the total by
evaluating each portion separately.
