A 10-year-old boy was given an IQ test and tested at a 12-year-old level. Using the IQ formula, what is this boy's IQ?

A. 150
B. 120
C. 75
D. 100

Answer :

Using the formula IQ = mental age / chronological age "/" 100, a 10-year-old boy testing at a 12-year-old level has an IQ of 120. Hence, the correct answer is option b. 120.

To determine the IQ of a 10-year-old boy who tests at a 12-year-old level, we use the formula:

IQ = mental age "/" chronological age "/" 100.

Given that:
Mental age = 12 years
Chronological age = 10 years

Plugging these values into the formula:

IQ = (12 "/" 10) "/" 100 = 1.2 "/" 100 = 120

Hence, the correct answer is option b. 120.
