Maths Syllabus--
Example - 1 (Test of Understanding): What is the prime factorization of 1000? 1. 10x10x10 2. 2x5x5x10 3. 2 x 2 x 2 x5 x 5 4. 2 x 2x 2 x 5 x5 x 5
11
A factorization of a number is said to be a prime factorization if (i) the product of the factors (taking a factor as many times as it occurs) is equal to the given number, and (ii) each factor is a prime number. Here only serial number 4 satisfies both the requirements. As such, serial number 4 is the correct answer.

Example 2 (Test of Understanding):
What is the average of first four odd numbers?
a. 2.5 b. 4 c. 5 d. 16
The first four odd numbers are 1.3.5 and 7.
Their average (l+3+5+7)/4. As such, serial number 2 is the correct answer.

Example 3 (Test of Application): A 1 km. long goods train is running at speed of I km. per 3 minutes, the time taken by this train to pass through 2 kms.

Long tunnel is:
1. 1 minute
2. 3 minute
3. 6 minute
4. 9 minute

The tunnel is 2 km. long and the train is I km. in length, the train will have to cover a total distance of 3 km. in order to pass through the tunnel running at a speed of 1 km, per 3 minutes, the train will take 9 minutes to pass through ibis tunnel and that is the correct answer. As such, serial number 4 is the correct answer.
