According to question,
A's weight is twice as much as of B.
1. A = 2B.
B's weight is four and half times as much as of C.
2. B = 4.5C
C's weight is half times as much as of D.
3. C = D/2.
D's weight is half as much as of E.
4. D = E/2.
E weight is less than A but more than C.
5. A > E > C
from 1 and 2
6. A = 2B = 9C
from 6 and 3
7. A = 2B = 9C = 4.5D
from 7 and 4
8. A = 2B = 9C = 4.5D = 2.25E
so from 8 and 5
A > B > E > D > C
So lightest in weight is C.

1st term = 20 - 0 = 20
2nd term = 20 - 1 = 19
3rd term = 19 - 2 = 17
4th term = 17 - 3 = 14
5th term = 14 - 4 = 10
6th term = 10 - 5 = 5

Thus, Missing number is 4th term = 14

The key hurdle in the UK-India free trade agreement talks is the UK's demand for increased protection of Geographical Indication (GI) items, such as Scotch whisky and cheeses.

X × 20 + 40 – 4 = X × 22
36 = 2X
X = 18
Hence, Option A is correct.

12 + 19 + 23 + 7 + x + 9 + 26 + 13 = 16 × 8
109 + x = 128
x = 128 – 109 = 19
Hence, Option D is correct.

2222 + .2 + .02 + .002 + .0002 = 2222.2222.

Since the two horses meet after 200 minutes, they cover 0.5% of the distance per minute
(combined) or 30% per hour. This condition is satisfied only if you the slower rider takes 10
hours (thereby covering 10% per hour) and the faster rider takes 5 hours (thereby covering 20%
per hour).

Perimeter is the boundary of the figure
So we have two semicircles of radius 14cm which makes one complete circle. Also there are two semicircles of radius 7 cm which makes one circle.
So perimeter= 2πR+2πr=2(R+r)=2*22/7(14+7)=22*6=132cm

∵ Minimum percentage required to pass in a subject = 33.33%
Thus, 40° out of 360° represents 33.33%
⇒ 60° represents 50%.
∴ So, minimum percentage scored by Arya = 50%.

Alfred Binet was one of the first psychologists who worked on intelligence. He defined intelligence as the ability to judge well, understand well, and reason well.

Key Points

• In 1905, Alfred Binet and Theodore Simon made the first successful attempt to formally measure intelligence.
• In 1908, when the scale was revised, they gave the concept of Mental Age (MA), which measures a person's intellectual development relative to people of her/his age group.
• Binet’s theory of intelligence was rather simple as it arose from his interest in differentiating more intelligent from less intelligent individuals.
• He, therefore, conceptualized intelligence as consisting of one similar set of abilities that can be used for solving any or every problem in an individual’s environment.
• His theory of intelligence is called Uni or the one-factor theory of intelligence.

Thus, it is concluded that the first attempt to measure Intellectual abilities was made by Alfred Binet.

Hint

• Francis Galton is known for his pioneering studies of human intelligence. He also invented the word association test and investigated the operations of the subconscious mind.
• Lewis Terman was an influential psychologist who is known for his version of the Stanford-Binet intelligence test and his longitudinal study of giftedness. His research is the longest-lasting longitudinal study ever conducted.
• Charles Darwin is credited for the theory of natural selection. Darwin's book introduced the scientific theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection.

Pavlov developed the theory of classical conditioning, in which an unconditioned stimulus (such as food) elicits an unconditioned response (such as salivation), and a neutral stimulus (such as a bell) is repeatedly paired with the unconditioned stimulus.

Key Points

• In the treatment of a phobia, classical conditioning can be used to help the individual overcome their fear through exposure therapy.
• The goal of exposure therapy is to gradually expose the individual to the feared object or situation while providing them with coping mechanisms to manage their anxiety.
• Over time, the individual will learn to associate the previously feared stimulus with less anxiety, and their phobic response will decrease.
• This is an example of classical conditioning, where the previously neutral stimulus (the feared object or situation) becomes a conditioned stimulus that elicits a less anxious response over time.

Thus, it is concluded that Only I is the correct answer.

Jean Piaget's theory of "Cognitive Development":- Development of child's mental abilities such as perceiving, comprehending, problem, solving, remembering and reasoning is called cognitive development.
Key PointsAccording to him:-

• Cognitive development is acquired and developed through successive stages and at various age levels.
• In his theory, development happens due to three processes:- Assimilation, Accommodation, and Equilibration.
• In 1970, he suggested that the child development world widely proceed through series or stages.
• Stages of Cognitive Development:-
  • Sensorimotor ( birth to 2 years)
  • Pre - operational stage (2 to 7 years)
  • Concrete operational stage ( 7 to 11 years)
  • Formal operational stage ( 11 to 15 years)

Hence, it is concluded that Only I is the correct answer.

Gender Schema theory is a cognitive-based theory which was introduced by Sandra Bem in 1981. The use of the information processing approach to explain how gender development occurs is called the Gender Schema Theory.

• According to this theory when children form a basic gender identity they start to develop gender schemas.
• The crucial power of gender schema theory is in the understanding it provides about the continuation and strength of gender beliefs.
• Further, research shows that gender schemas guides children's preferences, toy choices, and play partner choices.
• It emphasizes the child as an active processor of information and that the gender schemas that guide thinking also influence children's behavior.

Hence, it could be concluded that the Gender Schema theory was introduced by Sandra Bem.

• Non-discursive communication includes forms of communication that do not involve the use of words, such as facial expressions, body language, gestures, and silence.
• It is an important aspect of human communication and can play a significant role in how we interact with others and convey meaning and emotion.

Thus, it is concluded that Speaking is NOT a form of non-discursive communication.

Mary Ainsworth developed the Strange Situation in the 1970s as a structured approach for observing attachment security in children within the context of caregiver relationships.

Key Points

• In the context of attachment, the Strange Situation is a laboratory procedure to assess the quality of attachment between an infant and their caregiver, typically the mother.
• The Strange Situation involves a sequence of brief separations and reunions between the infant and the caregiver in a playroom setting.
• During the procedure, the infant is observed as they explore the playroom in the presence of the caregiver, then when the caregiver leaves, and when the caregiver returns.
• The observations made during the Strange Situation allow researchers to classify infants into different attachment categories based on their behavior and reactions to the separations and reunions.

Thus, it is concluded that A laboratory procedure to assess the quality of attachment between an infant and their caregiver best describes the Strange Situation in the context of attachment.

According to Ahrens' view, smiles in infants are triggered by certain stimuli, which he called "releasing stimuli."

Key Points

• Releasing stimuli are typically sensory in nature and include things like bright lights, sudden noises, and even the sight of a smiling face.
• The smile begins with the eyes, which then leads to a smile on the baby's face.
• Ahrens' theory is based on the idea that certain stimuli have an innate ability to trigger certain behaviors, such as smiling, in infants.
• This view has been supported by many studies of infant behavior, which have shown that babies are highly responsive to sensory stimuli and often show distinct patterns of behavior in response to specific stimuli.

Thus, it is concluded that Bright lights and sudden noises trigger smiles in infants.

Visual cognition memory is the ability to remember and recognize visual information, such as shapes, colors, and patterns.

Key Points

• Visualization is a technique that involves creating mental images to aid memory.
• By visualizing information, you can better encode it into your memory and retrieve it more easily later on. For example, when studying a diagram or graph, you can visualize it in your mind and imagine the different parts and their relationships.
• Additionally, visual memory games and exercises can also improve visual cognition memory. These may include tasks such as matching shapes, recalling details from images, or visualizing a sequence of events.
• Practicing these types of exercises can help improve both short-term and long-term memory for visual information.

Thus, it is concluded that Through practicing visualization visual cognition memory can be improved.

Using jargon can be confusing and off-putting to students who are not familiar with it. For example, a teacher who is teaching a lesson on physics might use the term "momentum." However, if students are not familiar with this term, they may not be able to understand what the teacher is talking about. There are a few reasons why teachers should avoid using jargon in the classroom:

• First, jargon can make it difficult for students to understand the material. When students are struggling to understand what is being said, they are less likely to be able to learn.
• Second, jargon can create a sense of exclusion. When students do not understand the jargon that is being used, they may feel like they are not part of the group. This can lead to feelings of isolation and frustration.
• Finally, jargon can be a barrier to communication. When teachers use jargon, it can be difficult for students to ask questions or participate in class discussions. This can limit the amount of learning that takes place.

Hence, it can be concluded that to facilitate students' learning, a teacher should avoid use of subject-jargons.

Lev Vygotsky, a Soviet Psychologist, has propounded the Socio-Cultural Theory. According to this theory, social interaction plays an important role in the development of a learner's cognitive ability.

Key Points

• Vygotsky believed that social interactions, particularly those with more knowledgeable others, can promote cognitive growth and development.
• He emphasized that learning occurs through interactions with others who have more knowledge and experience, which he referred to as the "zone of proximal development."
• Vygotsky's theory suggests that children's cognitive development is shaped by the social and cultural context in which they live and that their learning is influenced by interactions with parents, peers, and teachers.

Therefore, the teacher's decision to give assignments that involve social interactions with significant others in the family is consistent with Vygotsky's emphasis on the importance of social interactions in cognitive development.

Jean Piaget studied cognitive development among children of different age groups in different developmental stages, According to Piaget, development is based on Physical environment and Biological abilities, he ignores social Aspects. he categorized it into different developmental stages. These stages are-

• Sensory-motor stage (0 to 2 years)
• Pre-operational stage (2 to 7 years)
• Concrete operational stage (7 to 11 years)
• Formal Operational stage (11+ years to adolescence)

Key Points

Thus by all these references, we can conclude that According to Piaget, Egocentrism occurs in the pre-operational stage.
