Use Logical Reasoning
Logical reasoning is really used for all problem solving. However, there are types of problems that include or imply carious conditional statement such as: "if ... then," or "if ... then ... else," or "if something is true, then ..." or "if something is not true, then ... ." The data given in the problems can often be displayed in a chart of matrix. This kind of problem requires formal logical reasoning as the problem solver steps his or her way through the statemetns given in the problem.
