3. Which of the following questions is NOT answered by thepassage?

Difficulty Level:Medium-Hard

Explanation

While the passage discusses the historical origins of algebra and mentions the Rhind papyrus, it does not explicitly provide a definitive answer to the question of who invented algebra. The passage suggests that the Greeks were formerly attributed with the invention of algebra, but the discovery of algebraic analysis in the Rhind papyrus indicates a much earlier origin, around 1700 B.C. However, it doesn't definitively attribute the invention to a specific individual or civilization.

Answer option(B) does not provide a specific individual or civilization responsible for the invention of algebra. I appreciate your clarification, and that option B is the correctanswer.

Answer:B
