Q1Assertion: In 2 red beads and 3 blue beads, the total beads are 5. Reason: A ratio 2:3 names two parts, not only the second number.

A Assertion true, reason false
B Assertion false, reason true
C Both false
D Both true, and the reason explains the assertion
Explanation

The reason explains the assertion. When Meena reads 2:3, she should see 2 red parts and 3 blue parts. The total is therefore 5 parts or 5 beads in this concrete example.

Q2A teacher writes: known fact, value of one, required value. Which problem best fits this board layout?

A Name the types of angles
B Shade any picture you like
C If 6 notebooks cost 48 rupees, find the cost of 9 notebooks
D Write the table of 7 from memory
Explanation

The board layout fits unitary method. Asha would divide 48 by 6 to get one notebook at 8 rupees, then multiply 8 by 9 to get 72 rupees for 9 notebooks.

Q3Which pair of ratios is not a proportion?

A 2:3 and 6:9
B 4:10 and 2:5
C 5:8 and 10:16
D 3:4 and 9:16
Explanation

To check a proportion, both terms of a ratio must change by the same multiplier or reduce to the same form. In 3:4 and 9:16, the multipliers are different, which is the unchecked-ratio-equality trap.

Q4Which pair of ratios forms a proportion?

A 2:3 and 4:6
B 2:3 and 3:4
C 1:2 and 2:5
D 3:3 and 3:6
Explanation

A proportion states that two ratios are equal. The ratios 2:3 and 4:6 match because both terms of 2:3 have been multiplied by 2; the other pairs change only one side of the comparison or compare different parts.

Q5Three notebooks cost ₹24. Using the unitary method, what is the cost of 5 notebooks?

A ₹8
B ₹29
C ₹40
D ₹120
Explanation

The unitary method first finds the value of one unit: ₹24 divided by 3 is ₹8. Then ₹8 multiplied by 5 gives ₹40; the other choices confuse one notebook, addition, or direct multiplication by 5.

8Meena says, "In the ratio 2:3, there are only 3 objects." Which teacher response best corrects her idea?

CChange the ratio to 3:2 so that the larger number comes first.
DSay that 2:3 means 2 plus 3 equals 23.
