deduction and induction are two approaches that are used in terms of reasoning&period; Deduction reasoning is used when the concern of having a more precise work from more broaden terms&period;&&num;160&semi; However unofficially&comma; it is also called as &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;top to down approach”&period; Deductive approach is by nature a narrow one and constrained and it begin with the principle or any valid statement&comma; which involves the following stages&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">• First it starts from theory that is related to certain topic of our interest&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">• Then it made narrower to more precise form by conducting hypothesis for testing&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">• As the deductive approach is concerned with making the work more precise then for that the next stage is observation in which clear cut points were mentioned&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">• Observation then show the right way to test the hypothesis with to the point facts and figures so that to have a confirmation of the original theories&period; <br &sol;>Inductive reasoning is opposite to the deductive approach which involves the results in broadening form from the precise one and it is also to be called as &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;bottom up approach” and is imprecise approach most probably at the start and begins with the existing facts and figures&period; Inductive approach starts from observation&period; Stages of inductive approach involve&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">• Precise observation and procedures are taken to proceed further&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<&excl;-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v&period;

While using these approaches probable limits must be kept in mind&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2>Examples of Deduction and Induction<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">&lbrack;large&rsqb;In case of deductive approach&comma; conclusions are made through the premises that means that all the statements stated are true like if there are two statements 1&rpar; all men are mortal&comma; 2&rpar; john is a man&comma; as from deductive approach if both the statements are true then it is concluded that john is mortal&period; The conclusion derived from the deductive approach is always being true&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">For inductive approach&comma; if there are some statements like there is a black stone&comma; that is a black stone and the third one is also a black stone&comma; so from inductive approach all stones are black but if universally it is not true&period; Most of the time results govern from the inductive approach are not valid&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2 align&equals;"justify">Possibility of errors in deductive and inductive reasoning<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">In the deductive reasoning&comma; there may arouse the possibility of error in understanding the actual meaning of any issue which doesn’t interpret the real significance&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">As far as inductive reasoning is concerned&comma; possibilities of errors are many more&comma; some of them are stated as&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">• Prospect of having incomplete details of the relevant data&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">• Nature of the selected fact may be insufficient&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">• The relationship between the selected facts and the actual principles might be insufficient&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p align&equals;"justify">• Prospect of having inadequate selection of the facts&period;
