Mental age ÷ Physical age × 100 = IQ
5/4 x 100 = 125

• पाठ को अर्थपूर्ण, प्रवाहपूर्ण और रुचिकर बनाता है।
• बच्चों में लिखित-मौखिक अभिव्यक्ति कौशल का विकास करता है।
• बच्चों को तथ्यों को संदर्भ में जोड़ कर आसानी से समझने में मदद करता है।

इसलिए, यह कहा जा सकता है कि मुहावरे और लोकोक्तियों भाषा – प्रयोग को प्रभावी बनाते है।

प्राचीन भारत में शिक्षा जीवन की वास्तविकताओं से परिपूर्ण होती थी। दिए गए गद्यांश के अनुसार, आधुनिक युग की भाँति प्राचीन भारत में भी मनुष्य के चरित्र का उत्थान शिक्षा से ही सम्भव था। सामाजिक उत्तरदायित्वों को निष्ठापूर्वक वहन करना प्रत्येक मानव का परम उद्देश्य माना जाता है। इसके लिए भी शिक्षित होना अनिवार्य है। जीवन की वास्तविकता को समझने में शिक्षा का उल्लेखनीय योगदान रहता है। भारतीय मनीषियों ने इस ओर अपना ध्यान केन्द्रित करके शिक्षा को समाज की आधारशिला के रूप में स्वीकार किया।

हिंदी शिक्षण के सामान्य उद्देश्य श्रवण, वाक, पठन एवं लेखन कौशलों का विकास है। इन उद्देश्यों को हम तीन वर्गों में वर्गीकृत कर सकते हैं-

• अभिव्यंजनात्मक उद्देश्य - भाषा को अपने शब्दों में व्यक्त करने की क्षमता के विकास को भाषा का अभिव्यंजनात्मक उद्देश्य कहते हैं। इसके अन्तर्गत वाचन तथा लेखन कौशल का विकास आता है।
• सृजनात्मक उद्देश्य - हिंदी में रचनात्मक कार्य करने की दक्षता का विकास करना हिंदी शिक्षण का सृजनात्मक उद्देश्य माना जाता है। इस उद्देश्य को प्राप्त करने के अन्तर्गत हिंदी साहित्य की विभिन्‍न विधाओं, यथा -कहानी, कविता, निबंध, पत्र, उपन्यास, डायरी, रिपोर्ट आदि के लेखन के लिए प्रोत्साहित करना आता है।

अतः निष्कर्ष निकलता है कि भाषा के प्रति सम्यक समझ का विकास करना हिंदी भाषा शिक्षण का ग्रह्यात्मक उद्देश्य है।

Active participation of the students in any kind of activity conducted by the teachers is really necessary as it imparts not just knowledge in the students, but also enhances their zeal towards completing the job efficiently. It also gives them the opportunity to take interest in learning as well as representing themselves on a platform other than that provided by the curriculum.

• Active participation means indulging in activity in such a way that the individual not only performs with full dedication but also takes complete responsibility for the actions.

The given passage is about Artificial Intelligence.
Let us refer to the line from the passage, "Thus, when a machine mimics a human-like behaviour e.g. learning, planning, reasoning, problem-solving, the perception of the environment, natural language processing etc., then it falls under the category of Artificial Intelligence".
From the given passage we get to know that artificial intelligence is when machines behave and perform tasks the same as that of a human. 
So, 'It mimics a human-like behaviour' is the correct option.

"To leave no stone unturned" is an idiom that means "to do everything possible to find something or to solve a problem".
Thus, 'investigate thoroughly' is the correct option.

The Prime Meridian divides the Earth into two equal halves. Its value is 0 degrees longitude and from it, we count 180 degrees eastwards and 180 degrees westwards. Therefore, 180 degrees east and 180 degrees west are on the same line.

• The careful balance between defeating and not humiliating their opponents enabled the Mughals to extend their influence over many kings and chieftains.

Hence we conclude that the correct option is Both I and II are true but Il is not a cause for I.

According to NCF 2005, Social Science teaching needs to be revitalised towards helping the learner acquire knowledge and skills in an interactive environment. The teaching of Social Sciences must adopt methods that promote creativity, aesthetics, and critical perspectives, and enable children to draw relationships between past and present. Problem solving, dramatisation and role play are some hither-to underexplored strategies that could be employed.
Hence, this is the correct answer.

Ocean currents are the vertical and horizontal movement of water on the surface of the water.

• Ocean currents are caused by rotation of the earth, winds, variation of ocean water, temperature, etc.
• Some of the ocean currents are Gulf Stream, the North Atlantic Current, the California Current, the Atlantic South Equatorial Current, and the West Wind Drift.
• Depending on the origin, the currents are described as cold and warm.
• The currents that move from the equatorial regions to the polar regions are the warm currents. For example- the Gulf Stream.
• The cold currents move from the polar regions to the tropical regions. For example- the Labrador current.
• The region where warm and cold currents meet each other is ideal for fishing because it supports the existence large quantity of fish.
• Moreover, currents help in the navigation and movements of ships.

Hence, we can conclude that Gulf Stream and the Labrador are the ocean currents.

This is the right answer. A student, who feels free to ask questions, is believed to be more interested in learning.
