inductive reasoning

Explanation:

Rajiv is using inductive reasoning in making his decision. Inductive reasoning is a reasoning that takes specific idea and makes a broader generalization. In contrast to deductive reasoning, the conclusion of an inductive reasoning could be wrong. Rajiv made a broad generalization of the salary of the staff in the other firm based on just his friends salary.
