TopQuestion 1

Imagine a bookshelf with 5 books arranged in a row. The book that is red is the 3rd book from the left end of the shelf. Based on this description, which of the following statements correctly identifies the type of numbers used?
Options
Option A
The number '5' signifies the position of a book, making it an ordinal number.
Option B
The number '3rd' indicates how many books there are, making it a cardinal number.
Option C is correct
The statement "There are 5 books" uses a cardinal number, and "the 3rd book" uses an ordinal number.
Option D
Both '5' and '3rd' are examples of cardinal numbers, as they both indicate quantity.
Explanation
Let's analyze each option:
-
Option A is incorrect. A cardinal number tells 'how many' of something there are. The number '5' tells us there are five books in total, which is a quantity, not a position. Therefore, '5' is a cardinal number, not an ordinal number.
-
Option B is incorrect. An ordinal number tells 'which one' in a sequence or order. The term '3rd' tells us the specific position of the red book (the third one in the row), not the total count. Therefore, '3rd' is an ordinal number, not a cardinal number.
-
Option C is correct. The number '5' in "There are 5 books" answers the question "how many?", which is the definition of a cardinal number. The term '3rd' in "the 3rd book" answers the question "which one in the sequence?", which is the definition of an ordinal number. This statement correctly identifies both types of numbers.
-
Option D is incorrect. While '5' is a cardinal number indicating quantity, '3rd' is an ordinal number indicating position in a sequence. They are not both cardinal numbers.
Question 2
1 Mark
In a school quiz competition, there were 25 participants. Sunil answered the third question correctly and finished in the 7th position. Identify the cardinal and ordinal numbers from the given information.
Options
Option A
Cardinal: 25, 7th; Ordinal: third
Option B is correct
Cardinal: 25; Ordinal: third, 7th
Option C
Cardinal: third, 7th; Ordinal: 25
Option D
Cardinal: third; Ordinal: 25, 7th
Explanation
Cardinal numbers are used to count a quantity or to answer the question 'how many?'. In the given information, '25' represents the total number of participants, indicating 'how many' participants there were. Therefore, 25 is a cardinal number.
Ordinal numbers are used to indicate position, rank, or order. 'third' indicates the specific position of the question Sunil answered, and '7th' indicates Sunil's finishing position in the competition. Both 'third' and '7th' tell us 'which one' in a sequence. Therefore, 'third' and '7th' are ordinal numbers.
Based on this, the correct identification is: Cardinal: 25; Ordinal: third, 7th.
Option A is incorrect because '7th' is an ordinal number, not a cardinal number. Option C is incorrect because '25' is a cardinal number, not an ordinal number, and 'third' and '7th' are ordinal numbers, not cardinal numbers. Option D is incorrect because 'third' is an ordinal number, not a cardinal number, and '25' is a cardinal number, not an ordinal number.
