In questionnaire design, a 'double-barreled question' is problematic because it:
A. Requires numerical answers
B. Uses technical jargon
C. Is too long for respondents to read
D. Asks about two different issues in one question, confusing respondents
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Double-barreled questions (e.g., 'Do you find the product affordable and high-quality?') conflate two attributes, making responses ambiguous and uninterpretable for either dimension.
Assertion (A): The geometric mean is always less than or equal to the arithmetic mean for the same dataset. Reason (R): This is a consequence of the AM-GM inequality in mathematics.
A.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
B.A is true but R is false
C.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
Explanation:
The AM-GM inequality states that for non-negative real numbers, the arithmetic mean is always greater than or equal to the geometric mean, with equality only when all values are identical.
