Paper 1 · Logical Reasoning
Inductive reasoning is based on which of the following?
- Uniformity of nature
- A theory-to-observation approach
- Aristotle was basically in favour of inductive reasoning
- An observation-to-theory approach
A1 and 4 ✓ Correct
B1, 2, 3 and 4
C3 and 4
D2 and 3
Correct answer: (A) 1 and 4 — Statements 1 and 4 are correct, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Statements 1 and 4 are correct, so that is the answer.
★Induction rests on the uniformity of nature.
★It follows an observation-to-theory route, from data to generalisation.
★A theory-to-observation approach describes deduction, so statement 2 is wrong.
★Aristotle favoured deductive syllogism, not induction, so statement 3 is wrong.
★So the answer is 1 and 4.
