|
Answer» यहाँ Q3 + Q1 – 2M = 0 होता है । 125 – 2 × 62.5 = 125 – 125 = 0 इसलिए संमित आवृत्ति वितरण है । |
|
| 31412. |
एक आवृत्ति वितरण में Q3 + Q1 = 1.5 M और 3(Q3 – Q1) = 2M हो, तो j ज्ञात करो । |
|
Answer» यहाँ Q3 + Q1 = 1.5 M रखने पर और Q3 – Q1 =\(\frac{2M}3 \)रखने पर ∴ j = \(\frac{Q_3+Q_1−2M}{Q_3−Q_1}=\frac{1.5−2M}{0.67M}=\frac{−0.5M}{0.67M}\) ∴ j = – 0.75 |

Evaluate out range and coefficient of range of the marks.Marks5−910−1415−1920−2425−2930−34No. Students463264 |
||||||||||||||||||
|
Answer» To get the range and its coefficient, first we have to convert inclusive class intervals into exclusive class intervals.
Range = Upper limit of the highest class interval − Lower limit of the lowest class intervalor, Range = 34.5 − 4.5 = 30 Coefficient or Range = \(\frac{H-L}{H+L}=\frac{34.5-4.5}{34.5+4.5}=\frac{30}{39}\) = 0.769 Hence, the range is 730 marks and coefficient of range is 0.769. |

Find the sum of the series 101 + 99 + 97 + .... + 47. |
|
Answer» In this case, we have to first find the number of terms. Here a = 101, l = Tn = 47, d = 99 – 101 = –2 ∴ 47 = 101 + (n – 1) × (–2), where n = number of terms ⇒ 47 = 101 – 2n +2 ⇒ 2n = 103 – 47 = 56 ⇒ n = 28 ∴ Sn = \(\frac{n}{2}\) (a + l) ⇒ S28 = \(\frac{28}{2}\) (101 + 47) = 14 × 148 = 2072. |

In the given figure, the side QR of ΔPQR is produced to a point S. If the bisectors of ∠PQR and ∠PRS meet at point T, then prove that ∠QTR = 1/2 ∠QPR. |
|
Answer» In ΔQTR, ∠TRS is an exterior angle. ∠QTR + ∠TQR = ∠TRS ∠QTR = ∠TRS − ∠TQR (1) For ΔPQR, ∠PRS is an external angle. ∠QPR + ∠PQR = ∠PRS ∠QPR + 2∠TQR = 2∠TRS (As QT and RT are angle bisectors) ∠QPR = 2(∠TRS − ∠TQR) ∠QPR = 2∠QTR [By using equation (1)] ∠QTR = 1/2 ∠QPR |

In an examination, 70% of the candidates passed in English, 80% passed in Mathematics and 10% failed in both these subjects. If 144 candidates passed in both, then the total number of candidates was (a) 125 (b) 200 (c) 240 (d) 375 |
|
Answer» (c) 240 Let the total number of candidates be x. Given, 70% of x passed in English 80% of x passed in Maths 144 passed in English and Maths both 10% of x failed in English and Maths both \(\therefore\) 90% of x passed in English and Maths both. \(\therefore\) 90% of x = 70% x + 80% of x – 144 \(\Rightarrow\) 60% of 144 \(\Rightarrow\) x = \(\frac{144\times100}{60}\) = 240. |

In a potato race 20 potatoes are placed in a line at intervals of 4 metres with the first potato 24 metres from the starting point. A contestant is required to bring the potatoes back to the starting place one at a time. How far would he run in bringing back all the potatoes? |
|
Answer» Given at start he has to run 24m to get the first potato then 28 m as the next potato is 4m away from first and so on Hence the sequence of his running will be 24, 28, 32 … There are 20 terms in sequence as there are 20 potatoes Hence only to get potatoes from starting point he has to run 24 + 28 + 32 + … up to 20 terms This is only from starting point to potato but he has to get the potato back to starting point hence the total distance will be twice that is Total distance ran = 2 × (24 + 28 + 32…) … 1 Let us find the sum using he formula to find sum of n terms of AP That is Sn = n/2 (2a + (n – 1) d) There are 20 terms hence n = 20 ⇒ S20 = (20/2) (2 (24) + (20 – 1) 4) On simplification we get ⇒ S20 = 10(48 + 19(4)) ⇒ S20 = 10(48 + 76) On computing we get ⇒ S20 = 10 × 124 ⇒ S20 = 1240 m Using equation 1 ⇒ Total distance ran = 2 × 1240 ⇒ Total distance ran = 2480 m Hence total distance he has to run is 2480 m |

Floor of a room is of dimensions 5m × 4m and it is covered with circular tiles of diameters 50 cm each as shown in figure. Find area of floor that remains uncovered with tiles. (use π = 3.14) |
|
Answer» Length of the floor = l = 5 m Breadth of the floor = b = 4 m ∴ Area of the floor = l × b = 5 × 4 = 20 m2 Now, Diameter of each circular tile = 50 cm ∴ Radius of each circular tile = r = 25 cm = 0.25 m Area of one circular tile = πr2 = 3.14 × (0.25)2 = 0.19625 m2 Area of such 80 tiles = 80 × 0.19625 = 15.7 m2 Area of the floor that remains uncovered with tiles = Area of the floor – Area of all 80 circular tiles = 20 – 15.7 = 4.3 m2 Hence, the required area of floor that remains uncovered with tiles is 4.3 m2. |

A class room is 7m long, 6.5m wide and 4m high. It has one door 3m × 1.4m and three windows each measuring 2m × 1m The interior walls are to be color-washed. The contractor charges Rs. 15per sq. m. Find the cost of colour washing. |
|
Answer» l = 7m, n = 6.5m and h = 4m ∴ Area of the room = 2( l + b)h = 2(7 + 6.5) 4 = 108m2 Area of door = 3 × 1.4 = 4.2m2 Area of one window = 3 × 2 = 6m2 ∴ Area of 3 windows = 3 × 2 = 6m2 ∴ Area of the walls of the room to be colour washed = 108 - (4.2 + 6) = 108 - 10.2 = 97.8m2 ∴ Cost of colour washing @ Rs. 15 per square metre = Rs. 97.8 × 15 = Rs. 1467. |

Answer» Let f(x) = 2x4 – 7x3 – 13x2 + 63x – 45 Constant term = -45 Factors of -45 are ±1, ±3, ±5, ±9, ±15, ±45 Here coefficient of x4 is 2. So possible rational roots of f(x) are ±1, ±3, ±5, ±9, ±15, ±45, ±1/2,±3/2,±5/2,±9/2,±15/2,±45/2 Let x – 1 = 0 or x = 1 f(1) = 2(1)4 – 7(1)3 – 13(1)2 + 63(1) – 45 = 2 – 7 – 13 + 63 – 45 = 0 f(1) = 0 f(x) can be written as, f(x) = (x - 1) (2x3 – 5x2 -18x + 45) or f(x) = (x - 1) g(x) …(1) Let x – 3 = 0 or x = 3 f(3) = 2(3)4 – 7(3)3 – 13(3)2 + 63(3) – 45 = 162 – 189 – 117 + 189 – 45 = 0 f(3) = 0 Now, we are available with 2 factors of f(x), (x – 1) and (x – 3) Here g(x) = 2x2 (x-3) + x(x-3) -15(x-3) Taking (x-3) as common = (x-3)(2x2 + x – 15) = (x-3)(2x2+6x – 5x -15) = (x-3)(2x-5)(x+3) = (x-3)(x+3)(2x-5) ….(2) From (1) and (2) f(x) =(x-1) (x-3)(x+3)(2x-5) |

Answer» (i) Let, f (x) = x3 + 13x2 + 31x - 45 Given that (x + 9) is a factor of f (x) Let us divide f (x) by (x + 9) to get the other factors By using long division method, we have f (x) = x3 + 13x2 + 31x - 45 = (x + 9) (x2 + 4x – 5) Now, x2 + 4x – 5 = x2 + 5x – x – 5 = x (x + 5) – 1 (x + 5) = (x – 1) (x + 5) f (x) = (x + 9) (x + 5) (x – 1) Therefore, x3 + 13x2 + 31x - 45 = (x + 9) (x + 5) (x – 1) (ii) Let, f (x) = 4x3+20x2+33x+18 Given that (2x + 3) is a factor of f (x) Let us divide f (x) by (2x + 3) to get the other factors By long division method, we have 4x3 + 20x2 + 33x + 18 = (2x + 3) (2x2 + 7x + 6) 2x2 + 7x + 6 = 2x2 + 4x + 3x + 6 = 2x (x + 2) + 3 (x + 2) = (2x + 3) (x + 2 4x3 + 20x2 + 33x + 18 = (2x + 3) (2x + 3) (x + 2) = (2x + 3)2 (x + 2) Hence, 4x3 + 20x2 + 33x + 18 = (2x + 3)2 (x + 2) |
