Study Notes
Logical Reasoning in CLAT Exam
- The primary purpose of logical reasoning in the CLAT exam is to assess candidates' ability to analyze and evaluate arguments, enabling them to make reasoned and logical decisions in complex scenarios.
Valid Arguments
- A valid argument is characterized by a structure where if the premises are true, the conclusion must also be true, ensuring a logical connection between them.
Methods of Reasoning
- Inductive reasoning is used to draw a general conclusion from specific examples, allowing for generalizations based on observed patterns or data.
Common Logical Fallacies
- Appeal to emotion is a common logical fallacy where conclusions are drawn based on emotional responses rather than factual evidence, leading to flawed reasoning.
Disjunctive Syllogism
- Disjunctive syllogism is a logical reasoning framework that involves a premise stating two alternatives (A or B) and concludes the validity of one alternative when the other is negated (If A is false, then B must be true).
