AOption (a)
Through systematic phonological training.
BOption (b)
By providing higher grade level reading texts.
COption (c)
By giving long and complex passages.
DOption (d)
Through association method of conditioning.

View answer & explanation

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Curriculum should be designed keeping children's age-group and stage in mind.

Why this answer is correct

Piaget's theory states cognitive development occurs in stages, so curriculum should match the child's age-group and stage.

The capital city of India is ________ .
BOption (b)
How many States are there in India ?
COption (c)
What is the total population of India ?
DOption (d)
What are the various causes of increase of population in India ?

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

What are the various causes of increase of population in India ?

Why this answer is correct

Asking for 'various causes' requires breaking down a complex issue, which promotes analytical thinking, unlike simple recall.

DOption (d)
Both (A) and (R) are false.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

Why this answer is correct

Providing counter examples (R) is a constructive method that directly explains why teachers should offer experimentation and discuss non-examples (A).

Mathematics & Science (60 questions)

Question 31

Perimeter of a quadrilateral ABCD is 120 cm. If BC=48 cm, CD=17 cm, AD=40 cm and ∠A= ∠B=90°, then area of quadrilateral ABCD (in cm²) is :

AOption (a)
660
BOption (b)
690
COption (c)
720
DOption (d)
750

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

660

Why this answer is correct

AB = 120-(48+17+40)=15 cm. Since ∠A=∠B=90°, it's a right trapezium. Area = 1/2 * (15+40) * 48 = 660 cm².

Question 32

Which of the following statement is least appropriate regarding the proofs in mathematics ?

AOption (a)
It explains why a particular mathematical result must be true.
BOption (b)
It helps to reveal the connections and provide insights into the underlying structure of mathematics.
COption (c)
It can help the students to validate their own reasoning.
DOption (d)
Proofs are built on intuitive knowledge and not reasoning.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Proofs are built on intuitive knowledge and not reasoning.

Why this answer is correct

Proofs are based on logical reasoning from axioms, not just intuition. Option D is the least appropriate statement.

Question 33

PQRS is a parallelogram whose diagonals PR and QS intersect at a point O such that OP=(x+7) cm, OQ=(x+y) cm, OR=20 cm and OS=16 cm. Then, value of (7y+5) (in cm) is :

AOption (a)
21
BOption (b)
23
COption (c)
26
DOption (d)
28

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Why this answer is correct

Diagonals bisect each other. OP=OR => x+7=20 => x=13. OQ=OS => 13+y=16 => y=3. Then 7y+5 = 26.

Question 34

The value of 52×3÷4+√441÷7×3+5−32÷8×12 is :

AOption (a)
0
BOption (b)
5
COption (c)
15
DOption (d)
21

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Why this answer is correct

52×3÷4 = 39. 441÷7×3 = 189. 32÷8×12 = 48. So, 39+189+5-48 = 185. The provided options seem incorrect for this calculation.

Question 35

Arun is three years older than Varun. Eight years ago, 5/6 th of Arun's age exceeded 3/5 th of Varun's age by 6 years. If the present age of Varun is x years, then the value of x can be determined by solving the equation :

AOption (a)
5/6(x−5)−3/5(x−8)=6
BOption (b)
5/6(x−8)−3/5(x−5)=6
COption (c)
5/6(x+5)−3/5(x−8)=6
DOption (d)
5/6(x+3)−3/5(x−8)=6

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

5/6(x−5)−3/5(x−8)=6

Why this answer is correct

Varun's present age = x, Arun's = x+3. 8 years ago: 5/6(x+3-8) - 3/5(x-8) = 6. This simplifies to option A.

Question 36

BOption (b)
The new volume will be half the original volume.
COption (c)
The new volume will be thrice the original volume.
DOption (d)
The new volume will be one-third the original volume.

View answer & explanation

Rubrics consist of a clear performance target for students.
DOption (d)
Rubrics make evaluation more subjective.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Rubrics make evaluation more subjective.

Why this answer is correct

Rubrics increase objectivity by providing clear criteria, not subjectivity. The statement that they make evaluation more subjective is incorrect.

Question 42

The number of faces (F), edges (E) and vertices (V) of a polyhedron are 7, 15 and x, respectively. Then, the value of (2F +3E−4x) is :

AOption (a)
20
BOption (b)
19
COption (c)
18
DOption (d)
17

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Why this answer is correct

Using Euler's formula F+V-E=2: 7+x-15=2, so x=10. Then 2(7)+3(15)-4(10) = 14+45-40 = 19.

Question 43

If (2x +5y)²−5(2x+5y)−14=(2x+5y+p)(2x+5y+q), then the value of (p+q) is :

AOption (a)
7
BOption (b)
−14
COption (c)
9
DOption (d)
−5

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

−5

Why this answer is correct

Let u=2x+5y. Factor u²-5u-14 = (u-7)(u+2). So p+q = -7+2 = -5.

Question 44

Two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal and the two interior angles so formed on the same side of the transversal are (2x +15°) and (3x−20°). Then, the value of (4x +6°) is :

AOption (a)

BOption (b)
150°
COption (c)
148°
DOption (d)
146°

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

146°

Why this answer is correct

Interior angles on same side sum to 180°. (2x+15)+(3x-20)=180 gives x=37. Then 4(37)+6 = 154.

Question 45

The sum of the largest and smallest fractions among 6/7, 2 2/5, 3/8 and 2 8/15 is :

AOption (a)
2 29/35
BOption (b)
2 23/40
COption (c)
2 37/40
DOption (d)
2 39/40

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

2 23/40

Why this answer is correct

Fractions are 6/7, 13/5, 3/8, 38/15. Largest is 13/5=2.6, smallest is 3/8=0.375. Sum = 13/5 + 3/8 = 119/40 = 2 39/40.

Question 46

Which of the following does not imply the meaning of assessment ?

AOption (a)
It is evaluation.
BOption (b)
It helps to label the students.
COption (c)
It helps to diagnose individual differences.
DOption (d)
It is a procedure to gather information of student's performance.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

It helps to label the students.

Why this answer is correct

Assessment evaluates performance and diagnoses needs, not merely label students. Labeling is a misuse, not the core meaning.

Question 47

Which of the following is NOT an indicator of creativity in Mathematics ?

AOption (a)
Students use convergent thinking in different contexts.
BOption (b)
Students are able to think flexibly.
COption (c)
Students use multiple and alternate problem solving strategies.
DOption (d)
Students can pose questions.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Students use convergent thinking in different contexts.

Why this answer is correct

Creativity involves divergent thinking. Convergent thinking seeks a single correct answer, which is not an indicator of creativity.

Question 48

If x is the least number which must be added to 955 to make it a perfect square, then value of 3x + 2 is equal to :

AOption (a)
20
BOption (b)
14
COption (c)
11
DOption (d)
5

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Why this answer is correct

The next perfect square after 955 is 961 (31²). x = 961 - 955 = 6. So, 3x + 2 = 3(6) + 2 = 20.
