3. In educational psychology, the concept of the “Zone of Proximal Development” is primarily associated with which theorist?

Cor­rect answer: C. Lev Vygot­sky.
The Zone of Prox­i­mal Devel­op­ment describes tasks learn­ers can accom­plish with guid­ance but may not yet man­age independently.

4. A teacher gives students progressively reduced hints as they become more competent at solving a problem. This instructional technique is best described as:

Cor­rect answer: B. Scaf­fold­ing.
Scaf­fold­ing pro­vides tem­po­rary sup­port that is grad­u­al­ly with­drawn as the learn­er devel­ops inde­pen­dent competence.

5. Which of the following is the most appropriate example of formative assessment?

Cor­rect answer: B. A diag­nos­tic quiz fol­lowed by feed­back and reteach­ing.
For­ma­tive assess­ment pro­vides infor­ma­tion dur­ing learn­ing so teach­ing and learn­ing strate­gies can be improved.

6. Which river system is primarily responsible for forming the extensive alluvial plains of eastern Uttar Pradesh along with its tributaries?

Cor­rect answer: C. Gan­ga sys­tem.

Cor­rect answer: C. It pro­vides an alter­na­tive path­way with low­er acti­va­tion ener­gy.
A cat­a­lyst increas­es the rates of for­ward and reverse reac­tions by low­er­ing acti­va­tion ener­gy; it does not change the equi­lib­ri­um con­stant at a giv­en temperature.

9. In a population at Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of a recessive allele is 0.2. Assuming two alleles and random mating, what is the expected frequency of heterozygotes?

Cor­rect answer: C. 0.32.
q = 0.2, so p = 0.8. Het­erozy­gote fre­quen­cy = 2pq = 2 × 0.8 × 0.2 = 0.32.

10. If the price of a commodity rises by 25% and expenditure remains constant, by what percentage must consumption decrease?

Cor­rect answer: B. 20%.
New con­sump­tion = 100/125 of the orig­i­nal = 80%. The decrease is 20%.

Cor­rect answer: B. ₹11,000.
A = P(1.1)² = 1.21P. There­fore, P = 13,310/1.21 = ₹11,000.

12. If the roots of the equation x² − 7x + k = 0 differ by 1, what is the value of k?

Cor­rect answer: C. 12.
The roots have sum 7 and dif­fer­ence 1, so they are 4 and 3. Their prod­uct is k = 12.

13. Choose the correct logical conclusion: All researchers are readers. Some teachers are researchers. Therefore:

Cor­rect answer: C. Some teach­ers are read­ers.
The teach­ers who are researchers must also be read­ers because all researchers are readers.

14. A class has 40 students. The average score of 25 students is 72 and that of the remaining 15 students is 84. What is the overall class average?

Cor­rect answer: B. 76.5
Weight­ed aver­age = (25 × 72 + 15 × 84)/40 = (1800 + 1260)/40 = 76.5. The cor­rect option is C.

15. Which of the following is most consistent with the principle of inclusive education?

Cor­rect answer: C. Remov­ing bar­ri­ers and adapt­ing sup­port so diverse learn­ers can par­tic­i­pate.
Inclu­sive edu­ca­tion seeks mean­ing­ful par­tic­i­pa­tion and learn­ing for all stu­dents by address­ing bar­ri­ers and pro­vid­ing appro­pri­ate support.

17. Which statement about correlation is correct?

Cor­rect answer: C. Cor­re­la­tion mea­sures the strength and direc­tion of asso­ci­a­tion between vari­ables.
Cor­re­la­tion alone does not estab­lish cau­sa­tion. A neg­a­tive cor­re­la­tion indi­cates that high­er val­ues of one vari­able tend to be asso­ci­at­ed with low­er val­ues of the other.

18. Which of the following best distinguishes reliability from validity in educational measurement?

Cor­rect answer: A. Reli­a­bil­i­ty con­cerns con­sis­ten­cy; valid­i­ty con­cerns whether the intend­ed con­struct is mea­sured.
A test may pro­duce con­sis­tent results yet fail to mea­sure the con­struct it is intend­ed to assess.

19. Which principle is most directly reflected when a teacher starts a lesson by connecting new concepts to learners’ existing knowledge?

Cor­rect answer: B. Build­ing on pri­or knowl­edge.
Con­nect­ing new learn­ing with exist­ing knowl­edge sup­ports com­pre­hen­sion and helps learn­ers form mean­ing­ful con­cep­tu­al links.

20. A test has a mean score of 60 and a standard deviation of 8. Assuming a student’s score is 76, what is the student’s z‑score?

Cor­rect answer: C. 2.
z = (score − mean)/standard devi­a­tion = (76 − 60)/8 = 2.
