Deductive argument.
is one in which true premises
guarantee a true conclusion. In other
words, it is impossible for the
premises to be true but the
conclusion false. The essence of the
argument, mathematically, is: If A =
B, and B= C, then A = C.

Inductive Reasoning.
 I have a headache.
 A headache is a short-term pain.
 A box of paracetamol sits in-front of
me.
 Paracetamol can be used to alleviate
short-term pain.
 Therefore: If I take a paracetamol
tablet, it should alleviate my headache.
Deductive Reasoning:
 All men are mortal.
 Sherlock Holmes is a man.
Therefore: Sherlock Holmes is
mortal.
Deductive Reasoning:

All numbers ending in 0 or 5 are

divisible by 5. The number 35 ends
with a 5, so it must be divisible by 5.
