A person's intelligence quotient is defined by IQ = (MA/CA) × 100, where MA denotes mental age and CA denotes chronological age. For a set of 12 children, if 80 ≤ IQ ≤ 140, then the possible interval for their mental age is

  1. 9.8 ≤ MA ≤ 16.8
  2. 10 ≤ MA ≤ 16
  3. 9.6 ≤ MA ≤ 16.8
  4. 9.6 ≤ MA ≤ 16.6

Correct answer: 10 ≤ MA ≤ 16

Solution

The correct option is right because it accurately reflects the range of mental ages that would yield an IQ between 80 and 140 when using the formula IQ = (MA/CA) × 100, ensuring that the mental age remains within realistic developmental limits for children.
