In deductive reasoning we use general statements or facts to draw specific conclusions out of it whereas in inductive reasoning we use specific observations to draw general conclusions. Here, we have to find the type of reasoning used to draw the conclusion.

The correct answer is: Deductive reasoning


    In the question the given statements are
