Match the LIST-I with LIST-II
| LIST-I (Levels of Intellectual Disability) | LIST-II (IQ Range) | ||
| A. | Mild | I. | (IQs 35-40 to approximately 50-55) |
| B. | Moderate | II. | (IQs 55 to approximately 70) |
| C. | Severe | III. | (IQs 20-25 to approximately 35-40) |
| D. | Profound | IV. | (IQs below 20-25) |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV
(A) Mild — this matches (II) (IQs 55 to approximately 70). This is the highest band of intellectual disability; people in it develop more slowly than their peers but can function quite independently, hold jobs and have families.
(B) Moderate — this matches (I) (IQs 35-40 to approximately 50-55). People with moderate disability lag behind their peers in language and motor skills, but can be trained in self-care and simple social skills.
(C) Severe — this matches (III) (IQs 20-25 to approximately 35-40). Here the difficulties are strongly marked and the person needs constant supervision.
(D) Profound — this matches (IV) (IQs below 20-25). This is the lowest band; such people cannot be trained and need care throughout their lives.
NCERT (2025-26): “Variations of Intelligence … The different levels of intellectual disability are: mild (IQs 55 to approximately 70), moderate (IQs 35–40 to approximately 50– 55), severe (IQs 20–25 to approximately 35–40), and profound (IQs below 20–25).…” |
