amount taken off a total
Money, points, or another amount that is taken away from a larger amount, for example from your pay or your score.
استعمال کا انداز:
a deduction from [something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "deduction" with "discount". A "deduction" is any amount taken off a total (for example, from your salary or your tax bill), while a "discount" is a special lower price offered to the customer. We usually say "a deduction from your salary" but "a discount on the price".

متضاد الفاظ

process of logical reasoning
The careful thinking process where you look at facts and rules and then decide what must be true.
استعمال کا انداز:
by deduction, [someone] concludes that [clause]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes mix up "deduction" and "induction" in logic. "Deduction" usually means going from a general rule to a specific conclusion that must be true, while "induction" is going from specific examples to a general rule that might be true.
ہم معنی الفاظ

inference (Emphasizes the act of reaching a conclusion; slightly more formal and academic.)
متضاد الفاظ

conclusion from logical reasoning
A decision or idea that you reach after thinking carefully about the facts.
استعمال کا انداز:
to make a deduction about [something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use "deduction" only for the thinking process and forget it can also mean the final conclusion. In this sense, you can say "make a deduction" or "your deduction is wrong", similar to "your conclusion is wrong".
ہم معنی الفاظ
conclusion (Very close in meaning; "deduction" stresses that the conclusion comes from logical steps.)
|
finding (Common in reports or studies; focuses on the result, not the thinking process.)
متضاد الفاظ
