Respected sir/madam,
I want to inform you that there was a question in maths board exam held on 28th march which had a wrong meaning.
The question number was 24 in section d.
The question was from arithmetic progression. The question had a wrong meaning. It was given that the sum of four consecutive numbers of an a. P is 32. But if the terms are consecutive numbers then the terms could be x, x+1, x+2, x+3 for any value of x. The numbers could be 1, 2, 3, 4 or 11, 12, 13, 14 as it was given that the numbers were consecutive numbers in an a. P. And if that's the case then we can't obtain the correct answer.
The question should have been like, the sum of four consecutive terms of an a. P is 32. Terms should have been stated in place of numbers. Also in other books were i saw the same question, terms were in place of numbers.
I discussed about it with my school's teachers and teachers from another school and they too thought that the question meant wrong.
I request cbse officials to carefully observe and check the question whether it meant wrong or not. The question confused many students who wrote the exam. I request cbse to give grace marks to all the students who attempted the question as the question was wrong.
Thank you
Yours respectfully
