Critically analyse the process of reasoning.

Reasoning is thinking about the relations among statements. It is the mental process of making inferences. E.g.: Clearing the IAS exams requires careful reasoning.

Reasoning is the process with which one goes forward with arguments, from statements that are known to conclusions. Reason, is the mental ability or faculty that enables us to make inferences, understand logical relations, and solves problems. Reasoning has central role in analysis and evaluation of the arguments of others and our own. Correct reasoning helps us to construct good arguments. The validity of the argument determines the correctness of the reasoning. If the reasoning holds good then the argument holds good and the statement leads to a logical conclusion.
