(6) Boys and girls of X class do not differ significantly with regard to Achievement in Mathematics. (7) Students studying in rural and urban secondary schools do not differ significantly with regard to Intelligence. (8) Students studying in rural and urban secondary schools do not differ significantly with regard to Creativity. (9) Students studying in rural and urban secondary schools do not differ significantly with regard to Achievement in Mathematics. (10) Students studying in government and private secondary schools do not differ significantly with regard to Intelligence. (11) Students studying in government and private secondary schools do not differ significantly with regard to Creativity. (12) Students studying in government and private schools do not differ significantly with regard to Achievement in Mathematics. (13) Students studying in English and Telugu medium schools do not differ significantly with regard to Creativity. (14) Students studying in English and Telugu medium schools do not differ significantly with regard to Creativity. (15) Students studying in English and Telugu medium schools do not differ significantly with regard to Achievement in Mathematics.

For the study, sample comprised to 2000 students of class X studying in English and Telugu medium schools of Visakhapatnam district. Random technique was used for sampling.Data Collection was done with the help of Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM) by Raven (1941) and Creativity scale developed by investigator.The study was descriptive in nature.Mean, standard deviation, coefficient of correlation and regression equation techniques were used for data analysis. 

The findings of study were: (1) There is a significant positive relationship between Intelligence and Achievement in Mathematics (r=0.61). (2) There is a significant positive correlation between Creativity and Achievement in Mathematics (0.43). (3) There exists a significant positive relationship between Intelligence and Creativity (0.49). (4) There is a significant difference between boys and girls with regard to Intelligence. (5) There is no significant difference between the students studying in urban and rural schools with regard to Intelligence. (6) It is observed that private school students differ significantly from those of government schools with regard to Intelligence. (7) Students studying in English medium schools do not differ significantly from those studying in Telugu medium schools with regard to Intelligence. (8) There is a significant positive relationship between boys and girls with regard to Creativity. (9) A significant positive correlation is observed between the students studying in rural and urban schools with regard to Creativity. (10) There exists a significant positive relationship between the students of government and private schools with regard to Creativity. (11) The students studying in the English medium schools differ significantly from those studying in Telugu medium schools with regard to Creativity. (12) There is a significant difference between boys and girls in the Achievement of Mathematics. (13) There is a significant difference between the students studying in rural and urban schools with regard to their Achievement in Mathematics. (14) There is a significant difference between the students studying in government and private schools with regard to their Achievement in Mathematics. (15) The students studying in the English medium schools differ significantly from those studying in Telugu medium schools with regard to their Achievement in Mathematics.
