46.	"Each primary number has two factors". What method should be followed to prove it at the primary level?1. Inductive2. Deductive3. Analysis4. Synthesis
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Inductive Inductive method:- The inductive approach is based on the process of induction. In this, we first take few examples and greater than generalize. It is the method of constructing a formula with the help of a sufficient number of concrete examples. Induction means to provide a universal truth by showing, that if it is true for a particular case, it is true for all such cases. The children follow the subject matter with great interest and understanding. This method is more useful in arithmetic teaching and learning. To teach prime numbers at the primary level, the inductive method is used. Each prime number has two factors. This statement is proved by the inductive method. In the Inductive method of mathematical reasoning, the validity of the statement is checked by a certain set of rules, and then it is generalized. The principle of mathematical induction uses the concept of inductive reasoning. The concept should be introduced by reviewing fundamental operations on natural numbers in such a manner that a pattern strikes the imagination of pupils and they can formulate a new generalization which can be named as a new definition or property. A teacher should ensure that induction is planned and encouraged. Inductive approach proceeds from Particular cases to general rules of formulae Concrete instance to abstract rules Known to unknown Simple to complex Following steps are used by teaching this method:- Presentation of examples Observation Generalization Testing and verification Hence, we can conclude that Each primary number has two factors", for teaching this concept at the primary level, the inductive method of teaching should be followed. Deductive method:- It is based on deduction. In this approach, we proceed from general to particular and from abstract to concrete. At first, the rules are given and then students are asked to apply these rules to solve more problems. This approach is mainly used in Algebra, Geometry, and Trignometry. Analysis method:- In this method, we break up the unknown problem into simpler parts and then see how these can be recombined to find the solution. So we start with what is to found out and then link further steps or possibilities that may connect the unknown built the known and find out the desired result. Synthesis method:- In this method, the child proceeds from known to unknown. Facts that are already known are applied to new situations so that the combination of known facts helps us to find new facts.

A teacher should ensure that induction is planned and encouraged.

Inductive approach proceeds from

Particular cases to general rules of formulae
Concrete instance to abstract rules
Known to unknown
Simple to complex

Following steps are used by teaching this method:-

Presentation of examples
Observation
Generalization
Testing and verification

If the work done by (x - 3) men in (2x + 1) days and the work done by (2x + 1) men in (x + 4) days are in the ratio 3 ∶ 10, then what is the value of x?1. 32. 63. 94. 12

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 6

Given:

M1 = (x - 3)

D1 = (2x + 1)

W1 = 3 p

M2 = (2x + 1)

D2 = (x + 4)

W2 = 10 p

Formula Used:

(M1 × D1)/W1 = (M2 × D2)/W2

Calculation:

⇒ [(x - 3)(2x + 1)]/3p = [(2x + 1)(x + 4)]/10p

By cross multiplication

∴ x is 6
