Question

Rajiv works as a junior engineer in a firm. His friends Luke and Layla, who work in a different firm, earn more salary than he does. Rajiv considers quitting his job and joining his friends’ firm as he believes that everyone in that firm earns more salary than him. What type of reasoning is Rajiv using in his decision making?

Answer 1

Answer:

inductive reasoning        

Explanation:

Rajiv is using inductive reasoning in making his decision. Inductive reasoning is a reasoning that takes specific idea and makes a broader generalization. In contrast to deductive reasoning, the conclusion of an inductive reasoning could be wrong. Rajiv made a broad generalization of the salary of the staff in the other firm based on just his friends salary.
