Deductive mode A+B= A+B, which is evidence based to solving a problem ,Deductive reasoning relies on making logical premises and basing a conclusion around those premises.which is might just be an assumption.
Inductive mode A+ B=AB,It’s based on solving problems.where you go from general information to specific conclusions. Inductive reasoning is also called inductive logic or bottom-up reasoning.
Abductive mode A+B= C,It’s rational, prediction of an incomplete observation or thought, it can also be an imaginary approach to an idea .Abductive reasoning yields the kind of daily decision-making that does its best with the information at hand.
The 3 mode of thinking solely depends on the mindset a person applies when thinking, it could be right or wrong it simply means the conclusion is based on the events that had happened or something occurring at a specific time.
