Question

Ramesh is stuck on a math problem. Instead of asking his teacher about ways to solve the problem, he tries out various methods to arrive at the answer. He employs all algebraic formulas he has learned to solve the problem. After working for few hours, he manages to solve the problem.
Which of the following strategies did Ramesh use in solving his math problem?

a) prototype
b) algorithms
c) benefit finding
d) heuristics

Answer 1

Answer:

Algorithms

Explanation:

In psychology, an algorithm is a set of step-by-step procedures that help us get the answer to a particular problem.

In the example given, Ramesh employs all algebraic formulas he has learned to solve the problem. In other words, he employs all the sets of step-by-step procedures he's seen through the course and thanks to this he manages to get the answer of the math problem.

Thus, he's using algorithms to solve the problem.
