Explanation

Deductive reasoning is a process that connects premises with conclusions. It follows the rules of deductive logic and if all premises are true and the terms are clear, the conclusion reached is necessarily true.

On the other hand, inductive reasoning reaches a conclusion by generalizing or extrapolating from initial information. Deductive reasoning is also known as top-down logic and it involves reasoning from one or more premises to reach a logically certain conclusion.
