Logical Reasoning Notes

Argument

An argument is a sequence of statements, named the premises, intended to define the degree
of truth of another statement, the conclusion.

Types of Arguments

There are normally three kinds of arguments as follows:

1. Deductive Argument/Deductive Reasoning


2. Inductive Argument/ Inductive Reasoning
3. Abductive (or Hypothetico-Deductive) Argument/ Abductive Reasoning
Entri App

• Deductive Argument:

The deductive argument forms with a general statement and analyses the opportunities to
reach a specific, logical conclusion.

It is considered from general to particular.

• Inductive Argument:

It directs to an argument that takes precise information and makes an

the all-around generalization that is supposed probable, entitling for the fact

that the conclusion may not be correct.

• Abductive

(or Hypothetico-Deductive) Argument:

The abductive argument is to assume a logical assumption, inference,

conclusion, hypothesis, or best guess from observation or set of observations.

Analogy

‘Analogy’ points that ‘correspondence’ or ‘Similar items. An analogy is a kind of reasoning


in which a comparison is created between things that have similar features. In other words,
we can say the similarity or similar relation present between the provided subject. In the
analogy-based question section, you will see that a particular relationship is given and
another similar relationship has to determine from the alternatives given.

Analogy-based tests are indicated to test a candidate’s overall knowledge, power of verbal
reasoning, and capability to think concisely and accurately.

There are three types of Analogy are presented-

• Number Analogy
• Letter Analogy
• Word Analogy

Venn Diagram
A Venn diagram directs to a representative of the relationships between and among sets or
groups of objects that convey something in common.

words of a group by diagrams.

• In this kind of question, you will be given some figures of circles and some in words. You
have to select a figure which denotes the given words to the maximum extent.
• Illustration of some conditions (relations).

Indian Logic: Means of knowledge

According to the Vedic philosophy in India, there are 6 kinds of Pramanas. They are as
follows:

• Pratyaksha Pramana (Perception) – By Pratyaksha Pramana represents knowledge-based


through perception. It can be direct or indirect to any person involved.
• Direct perception – It conveys through our sensory organs directly. Like nose (smell), skin
(touch), eyes (see), ears (sound), tongue (taste). Here, the knowledge takes place when it is
in direct connection with the sensory organs. It is also comprehended as anubhava or
experience.
• Indirect perception – The knowledge occurs based upon smriti or memory. For example, we
all know what an apple is looks like. This knowledge gets stored in our memory. So,
whenever we see red-colored and round-shaped fruit, we can smoothly associate it with an
apple. Our memory directly organizes it.
• Anumana Pramana (Assumption) – Here the knowledge is acquired not through any sense
organs but anumana or assumption. We assume things from what we don’t see but from
what we see. For example, we can assume physical or emotional pain when we see someone
crying or we can connect fire with the smell of smoke.
• Upamana Pramana (Comparison) – It is a kind of knowledge we attain by the assumption of
similarity between the two distinct types of knowledge. It is based on comparison and not
just only perception or assumptions.
• Arthapatti Pramana (Assumption or Implication) – By Arthapatti Pramana, we comprehend
the knowledge which we obtain through the relation and its implications. It contains
supposition, belief, and presumption. We obtain this type of knowledge either what we have
seen or heard and by pure assumption.
• Anupalabdhi Pramana (Apprehension and Non- Apprehension) – It is based on the suspicion
of a non-existent thing which is based on nonperception. For example, if there is no one in
the room, as we cannot see anyone in the room at that moment, we deduce that there is no
one in the room.
• Shabda Pramana (Word or Verbal Statement) – This is especially through verbal expression.
We obtain a lot of knowledge through verbal statements, symbols, texts, or words. We
either say this or write it. A verbal statement must have a proper cause for its information to
be true. Earlier in Indian philosophy Vedas were believed to be the most trustworthy source
of knowledge. But western philosophers dumped this idea and named it context-based
knowledge. In modern times, we depend on books, newspapers, TV news, etc. to construct
our opinion.
