Option 1 : It would assess the students on mental computation and estimation skills.

A question that doesn't have a single answer or a single way to find the answer is known as an open-ended question.

The question given above by the teacher is also open-ended as it doesn't have a single answer

Task 1 has many answers like 28 + 50 = 78 , 55 + 23 =78 , 10 + 68 = 78 etc.
Task 2 also has many answers like 50 - 16 = 34, 74 -40 = 34, 100 - 66 = 34 etc.

Open-ended questions in math:

Enhance creativity in students.
Assess the students on mental computation and estimation skills.
Allow students to solve in different ways according to their understanding.
Avoid rote memorization and enhance divergent thinking.

Hence the task in the above question would assess the students on mental computation and estimation skills.
