James is 10 years old and has a mental age of a 12 year old, his IQ is
A
85
B
100
C
120
D
135
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, if a 10-year-old child had a mental age of 12 (that is, performed on the test at the level of an average 12-year-old), the child was assigned an IQ of 12/10 × 100, or 120. If the 10-year-old had a mental age of 8, the child’s IQ would be 8/10 × 100, or 80.

Detailed explanation-2: -The average IQ score for a 12-year-old is between 77 and 135, with an overall average score of 112.

Detailed explanation-3: -a numerical scale unit derived by dividing an individual’s results in an intelligence test by the average score for other people of the same age. Thus, a 4-year-old child who scored 150 on an IQ test would have a mental age of 6 (the age-appropriate average score is 100; therefore, MA = (150/100) × 4 = 6).
