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. what type of reasoning is this? inductive deductive

Option (b) is the correct answer.

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.
