The three methods most commonly used by Developmental Psychologists to study children are 
i) Cross sectional studies: Comparisons are made of the behaviour or abilities of two or more different groups of children, with each group covering a different age range.
ii) Longitudinal studies:  a group of children is followed up across time, this could be a relatively short period of several months, or in some cases for decades
iii) Case Studies: one or a very small number of children are seen regularly over a period of time. The time period is variable but usually is six months or more in length. 
These all come under comparative methods.

• अभिव्यक्तात्मक कौशल का अर्थ है, अपने भावों तथा विचारों की अभिव्यक्ति। अपे विचारों को हम मौखिक अथवा लिखित रूप में व्यक्त कर सकते हैं।
• सुनकर लिखना या देखकर लिखना विचारों की अभिव्यक्ति नहीं है।
• अभिव्यक्ति के लिए स्वयं के मौलिक विचार महत्व रखते हैं।
• किसी अन्य की रटी-रटायी भाषा को दोहराना भी अभिव्यक्तात्मक कौशल नहीं है।
• इसके अन्तर्गत हम दूसरों के विचारों को उजागर कर रहे होते हैं।
• दूसरों के विचारों का विश्लेषण या आलोचनात्मक वर्णन अभिव्यक्तात्मक कौशल के अन्तर्गत आता है।

अतः निष्कर्ष निकलता है कि घटना वर्णन अभिव्यक्तात्मक कौशल का उदाहरण है

सीखने की विधियों में से 'वर्कशॉप विधि' सामूहिक विधि नहीं है। इस विधि में मात्र दो लोगों की उपस्थिति भी पर्याप्त है | इसमें एक प्रशिक्षक एवं दूसरा प्रशिक्षु होता है | इस विधि में कार्य को प्रयोगात्मक रूप में किया जाता है | अन्य विधियों पर अगर विचार करें तो उनमें वाद-विवाद विधि में अत्यधिक  सीखने को मिलता है।

By making a simple ratio of 4(1/3)
We get;
(3x4+1)/3 = 13/3
Now,
The number of degrees in 13/3 right angles
= (13/3) x 90º = 390º.

There are 9000, four-digit numbers present in the Hindu-Arabic Numeration system. The series of those numbers start from 1000 and end at 9999 so the total no. of four-digit numbers = (9999−1000)+1= 8999+1 = 9000
Hence, the correct answer is 9000.

As 19009 = 1728 × 11 + 1
Therefore, on dividing 19009 by 11 we get the remainder 1.
Also, 9090 = 826 × 11 + 4
Similarly, on dividing 9090 by 11 we get the remainder 4.
Now, the product of the remainders = 1 × 4 = 4
Hence, the correct answer is 4.

The concept of areas of plane figures can be introduced to the students of Class V by measuring the area of any figure with the help of different objects like palm, leaf, pencil etc.

• Plants prepare their food by the process called photosynthesis. 
• During photosynthesis, plants trap solar energy or light energy with the help of chloroplast present in the green leaves and convert it into Chemical energy.
• A pigment called chlorophyll is present in the chloroplasts which are required in trapping sunlight.
• Plants utilize Carbon dioxide and water for the synthesis of carbohydrates during photosynthesis, oxygen is liberated as a side product.
• This gaseous exchange occurs through the stomata present on the leaf surface.

These events can be demonstrated by the following equation:

To know the level of understanding of the students about the topic when Sheela administered a test then she realized that a large number of students had not understood the related concepts. The reason behind this was that she did not use the correct methodology to teach the topic.

Hence, the correct answer is, 'She did not use the correct methodology to teach the topic.'
