So we have to figure out which kind of reasoning is involved into the sentence
"<em>The ceiling and wall of a room meet in a line segment.</em>"
First of all lets look at what options do we have:
<em>Inductive reasoning</em>: It is a logical process in which multiple premises, are all believed to be true or found true often, are combined to obtain a specific conclusion. Also, it may happen that all the premises are true in the inductive reasoning there is a chance that conclusion might be false.
For an instance: The coin I pulled from my pocket is a dime. That coin is a dime. A fourth coin from the pocket is a dime. Therefore, all the coins in the pocket are dimes.
<em>Deductive reasoning</em>: It is a logical process in which a conclusion is based on the accordance of multiple premises that are generally assumed to be true. It can start with a hypothesis.
For example: All men are mortal. Arthur is a man. Therefore, Arthur is mortal.
Talking about our sentence "ceiling and wall of a room meet in a line segment."
We deduce where the ceiling of a room ends and where does the wall of the room end and they end up forming a straight line limited by the dimension of the room, therefore, we say that ceiling and wall of a room meet in a line segment.
