Option 1 : Find the value of 3.25 × 6 

Problem solving skills are very important in mathematics.The ability to think creatively, critically, and logically, the ability to structure and organize, and the ability to process information are some of the problem-solving skills involved in mathematics. The question "Find the value of 3.25 × 6 " does not involve problem solving skills as:

  • It is a direct question of multiplication.
  • The student may get the answer easily.
  • Doesn't require any problem-solving skills like critical thinking and analysis.
  • The student is not required to read and understand the problem in order to solve it.
  • Doesn't enhance the thinking capacity of the student.

Hence the question "Find the value of 3.25 × 6 " does not involve problem-solving skills.

On the other hand, all the other questions enhance the problem-solving skills of students as there is a scope for the student to read, understand, analyze, think and arrive to the solution.
