REASONING

• Process of drawing conclusion


TWO TYPES OF REASONING
• Inductive Reasoning
 It is a process of drawing conclusions from specific to
general observation.
It involves conclusions that are more or less probable.
Example:
4, 8, 12, 16, 20, ____ Ans: 24
4, 9, 16, 25, ___ Ans: 36
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ___ Ans. 32
 
• Deductive Reasoning
 Process of reaching conclusions by applying general assumptions
 General to Specifics
Example:
Solving Logic Puzzle
Each 4 neighbors Aster, Anji, Agnes and Anna has different
occupations (writer, teacher, chef or doctor). From the following clues,
determine their occupations.
1. Anji gets home from work after the teacher but before the doctor.
2. Agnes who is last to go home is not the writer.
3. The doctor and Agnes leave for work at the same time.
4. The teacher leaves next door to Anna.
Solution:
1. From clue 1, Anji is not the teacher nor the doctor. (So you can
cross out teacher and doctor under the name of Anji)
2. From clue 2, Agnes is not the writer and from clue 1, the teacher
is not the last to go home, but Agnes is. . (So you can cross out
teacher and writer under the name of Agnes)
3. From clue 3, Agnes is not the doctor, leaving Agnes as the
probable chef. Since Agnes is the chef, the other three are not.
4. Anji is the writer and the other two, Aster and Anna are not.
5. From clue 4, Anna is not the teacher which makes Anna the
doctor and Aster the teacher.

Therefore, Aster is the teacher, Anji is the writer,


Agnes if the chef and Anna id the doctor.
Examples:
Identifying Inductive or Deductive
1. A tiger is a cat  since “A TIGER” is singular, it
implies specific assumption.
Cats don’t eat tomatoes and since “CATS” is a plural
word, then it depicts general
assumptions
Tigers don’t eat tomatoes
Therefore it is inductive in nature because it is
specific from general assumption.
2.
• Janet is a woman.
• Women are lovable.
____________________
Answer:
Janet is lovable
Inductive in nature
3. All pentagons have five sides.
Since, the word “ALL indicates plural, then it is
in general form
Figure A is a pentagon
 and since there is an specific “FIGURE A”, then
this is an specific assumption
Answer:
Figure A has five sides therefore it is deductive in nature
because it is general to specific assumption.
4.
• All Gillian Flynn novels are worth reading
• The novel “Gone Girl” is a Gillian Flynn novel
____________________

Answer:
The novel “Gone Girl” is worth reading.
Deductive in nature
RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY

Miyamoto.
 The noun “ken” has “knowledge” and “awareness”, hence,
it is translated as knowledge squared or awareness
squared.
Rules for Solving KenKen Puzzle
A.For a 3x3 puzzle, fill in each box (square) of the grid with one of
the numbers 1, 2, or 3.
For 4 x 4 puzzle, fill in each box (square) of the grid with one of
the numbers 1, 2, 3 or 4
For n by n puzzle, fill in each square of the grid with one of the
numbers 1, 2, 3,…, n
Grids range in size from a 3 by 3 up to 9 by 9.
B.Do not repeat a number in a row or column.
C.The numbers in each broken outlined set of squares, called cages ,
must combine, to produce the target number in the top left corner
of the cage using mathematical operation indicated.
C. Cages with fully outlined set of
 

squares should be filled in with the


target number.
D. A number can be repeated within a
