A
80
B
100
C
125
D
150
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -From Binet’s work, the phrase “intelligence quotient, ” or “IQ, ” entered the vocabulary. The IQ is the ratio of “mental age” to chronological age, with 100 being average. So, an 8 year old who passes the 10 year-old’s test would have an IQ of 10/8 x 100, or 125.

Detailed explanation-2: -For example, if in an intelligence test an 8 years old boy, Sudhir is found to have a mental age of 10 years, then his IQ would be 10/8 x 100 = 125.

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).

Detailed explanation-4: -the test that Binet and Simon designed was later modified for English speakers by Stanford psychologists and published as the Stanford-Binet IQ test. he test’s items are designated by age an item designated as “age 8, ” for example, will be answered correctly by 60 to 90 percent of 8-year-olds.
