Which of the following is an irrational number?
Answer: √50
√50 = 5√2, which cannot be expressed as p/q, so it is irrational.
The speed of a boat in still water is 12 km/h and the speed of the stream is 4 km/h. Time taken to go 48 km downstream is:
Answer: 3 h
Downstream speed = 12 + 4 = 16 km/h; time = 48/16 = 3 hours.
In a bar graph, if the scale is 1 cm = 50 units and a bar is 3.5 cm tall, what value does it represent?
Answer: 175
Value = 3.5 × 50 = 175 units.
The LCM of two numbers is 120 and their HCF is 10. If one number is 40, the other number is:
Answer: 30
Product of numbers = LCM × HCF = 1200; other number = 1200/40 = 30.
A student says '2 + 3 × 4 = 20'. This reflects a misconception about:
Answer: Order of operations (BODMAS)
The student added before multiplying, violating BODMAS where multiplication precedes addition.
The angle subtended by a semicircle at the centre is:
Answer: 180°
A semicircle subtends an angle of 180° at the centre since it is half the circle.
Which of the following best describes a 'mathematical error' as an assessment tool in CTET pedagogy?
