The following distribution gives the daily income of 50 workers of a factory : Income (in ₹): 400–424, 425–449, 450–474, 475–499, 500–524 Number of workers: 12, 14, 8, 6, 10 The lower limit of the modal class is :
(A)425
(B)449
(C)424.5
(D)425.5
Show answer & solution
Answer: (C) 424.5
The highest frequency is 14, so the modal class is 425–449.
The classes are not continuous (gap of 1), so subtract 0.5 from each lower limit and add 0.5 to each upper limit.
The modal class becomes 424.5–449.5, so its lower limit is 424.5.
Assertion (A): The pair of linear equations 5x+2y+6=0 and 7x+6y+18=0 have infinitely many solutions. Reason (R): The pair of linear equations a1x+b1y+c1=0 and a2x+b2y+c2=0 have infinitely many solutions, if a2a1=b2b1=c2c1.
(A)Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
(B)Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
(C)Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
(D)Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.
Show answer & solution
Answer: (D) Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.
a2a1=75, b2b1=62=31.
Since 75=31, the pair has a unique solution, so A is false.
R is the correct condition for infinitely many solutions, so R is true.
A chord of a circle of radius 10 cm subtends a right angle at the centre of the circle. Find the area of the corresponding (i) minor sector (ii) major sector. (Use π=3.14)
One card is drawn at random from a well-shuffled deck of 52 playing cards. Find the probability that the card drawn is : (i) a red king. (ii) not a black card. (iii) an ace of hearts.
Show answer & solution
Answer: (i) 261 (ii) 21 (iii) 521
Total outcomes = 52.
(i) Red kings = 2, so P=522=261.
(ii) Cards that are not black = 26 red cards, so P=5226=21.
A solid is in the shape of a cone surmounted on a hemisphere with both their diameters being equal to 7 cm and the height of the cone is equal to its radius. Find the volume of the solid.
A contractor plans to install two slides for the children to play in a park. For the children below the age of 6 years, he prefers to have a slide whose top is at a height of 2.0 m and is inclined at an angle of 30∘ to the ground, whereas for older children, he wants to have a steep slide at a height of 4.0 m and inclined at an angle of 60∘ to the ground. What would be the length of the slide in each case ?
CD and GH are respectively the bisectors of ∠ACB and ∠EGF such that D and H lie on sides AB and FE of △ABC and △FEG respectively. If △ABC∼△FEG, show that : (i) GHCD=FGAC (ii) △DCB∼△HGE
Show answer & solution
Answer: Proved.
△ABC∼△FEG gives ∠A=∠F, ∠B=∠E, ∠ACB=∠FGE.
Halving, ∠ACD=∠FGH and ∠DCB=∠HGE.
(i) In △ACD and △FGH: ∠A=∠F, ∠ACD=∠FGH, so △ACD∼△FGH (AA).
A manufacturer of TV sets produced 720 TV sets in the fourth year and 880 TV sets in the eighth year. Assuming that the production increases uniformly by a fixed number every year, find the production in the tenth year and the total production in the first seven years.
Show answer & solution
Answer: Tenth year: 960 TV sets; first seven years: 5040 TV sets
Let the production form an A.P. with first term a and common difference d.
Mutual Fund : A mutual fund is a type of investment vehicle that pools money from multiple investors to invest in securities like stocks, bonds or other securities. Mutual funds are operated by professional money managers, who allocate the fund’s assets and attempt to produce capital gains or income for the fund’s investors. Net Asset Value (NAV) represents a fund’s per share market value. It is the price at which the investors buy fund shares from a fund company and sell them to a fund company. The following table shows the Net Asset Value (NAV) per unit of mutual fund of ICICI mutual funds : NAV (in ₹): 0–5, 5–10, 10–15, 15–20, 20–25 Number of mutual funds: 13, 16, 22, 18, 11 Based on the above information, answer the following questions : (i) What is the upper limit of modal class of the data ? (1) (ii) What is the median class of the data ? (1) (iii) (a) What is the mode NAV of mutual funds ? (2) OR (b) What is the median NAV of mutual funds ? (2)
Show answer & solution
Answer: (i) 15 (ii) 10–15 (iii) (a) ₹13 OR (b) ₹12.5
(i) Highest frequency 22 is for 10–15, so the modal class is 10–15 and its upper limit is 15.
(ii) N=13+16+22+18+11=80, 2N=40. Cumulative frequencies: 13, 29, 51, 69, 80. The median class is 10–15.
(iii)(a) Mode =l+2f1−f0−f2f1−f0×h=10+44−16−1822−16×5=10+106×5=13. Mode NAV = ₹13.
(iii)(b) Median =l+f2N−cf×h=10+2240−29×5=10+2.5=12.5. Median NAV = ₹12.5.
Resident Welfare Association (RWA) of Gulmohar Society in Delhi, have installed three electric poles A, B and C in the society’s common park. Despite these three poles, some parts of the park are still in the dark. So, RWA decides to have one more electric pole D in the park. The park can be modelled as a coordinate system given below. On the basis of the above information, answer the following questions : (i) What is the position of the pole C ? (1) (ii) What is the distance of the pole B from the corner O of the park ? (1) (iii) (a) Find the position of the fourth pole D so that the four points A, B, C and D form a parallelogram ABCD. (2) OR (b) Find the distance between poles A and C. (2)
Show answer & solution
Answer: (i) (5,4) (ii) 62 units (iii) (a) D(1,5) OR (b) 32 units
From the figure, A(2,7), B(6,6), C(5,4).
(i) Pole C is at (5,4).
(ii) OB=62+62=72=62 units.
(iii)(a) Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, so mid-point of AC = mid-point of BD.
Mid-point of AC =(27,211). If D(x,y): 26+x=27, 26+y=211, so D=(1,5).
Deepankar bought 3 notebooks and 2 pens for ₹ 80 and his friend Suryansh bought 4 notebooks and 3 pens for ₹ 110 from the school bookshop. Based on the above information, answer the following questions. (i) If the price of one notebook be ₹ x and the price of one pen be ₹ y, write the given situation algebraically. (1) (ii) (a) What is the price of one notebook ? (2) OR (b) What is the price of one pen ? (2) (iii) What is the total amount to be paid by Suryansh, if he purchases 6 notebooks and 3 pens ? (1)
Show answer & solution
Answer: (i) 3x+2y=80, 4x+3y=110 (ii) (a) ₹20 OR (b) ₹10 (iii) ₹150
(i) 3x+2y=80 and 4x+3y=110.
(ii) Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second by 2: 9x+6y=240, 8x+6y=220.
Subtracting, x=20. Then 3(20)+2y=80⇒y=10.
(a) One notebook costs ₹20. (b) One pen costs ₹10.
