Question 4

In a dice game, Arjun got 3, 4, 6, 3, 2, 5, 3, 1, 6, 3, 3, 2, 4, 4 and 1 in his first 15 attempts. Which number has the maximum frequency? Show it with the help of a tally chart. [3 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution :

Arranging the data in ascending order, we get the observations as 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6.

3 has the maximum frequency as it occurs 5 times.

Question 5

The following chart shows the sales of cars in thousands. [3 MARKS]

a) What is the number of cars sold in 2002-2003? 

b) What is the total sale of Maruti cars? 

c) What is the difference in the sales of Maruti & GM?

SOLUTION

Solution :

Each option: 1 Mark

a) Total numbers of cars sold in 2002-2003 =(6 + 12 + 5 + 16 + 7) × 1000 = 46000

b) Total sale of Maruti over three years = (5 + 8 +15) ×1000 = 28000

c) Total sale of GM over three years = (12 + 17 + 17) × 1000 = 46000

Hence, the difference between the sales of GM and Maruti = (46000 - 28000) =18000

Roll No.MathsPhysicsChemistry16778672577875378647248460695697073

SOLUTION

Solution :

Each option: 1 Mark

Marks scored by roll no. 1 = 67 +78 + 67 = 212

Marks scored by roll no. 2 = 57 +78 +75 = 210

Marks scored by roll no.3 = 78 + 64 + 72 = 214

Marks scored by roll no. 4 = 84 + 60 + 69 = 213

Marks scored by roll no.5 = 69 + 70 + 73 = 212

a) Maximum marks is scored by roll no. 3 = 214

b) Yes, marks scored by both roll numbers 1 and roll no. 5 are the same = 212

c) Least marks is scored by roll no. 2 = 210

d) Aggregate marks scored by roll no. 4 is 213

Question 8

Collection of cakes by Lara, Linda, Sara and Carol in two weeks are given below.

a) The number of cakes Linda has by the end of two weeks.

b) The difference in the number of cakes between Carol and Linda by the end of two weeks.

c) Total numbers of cakes by all the members.

d) Difference between the highest and the lowest number of cake.
[4 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution :

Each option: 1 Mark

Above data, shows the numbers of cakes Lara, Linda, Sara and Carol have in two weeks.

Numbers of cakes Linda has = (5 + 5) ×5 = 50

Numbers of cakes Lara has = (8 + 8) ×5 = 80

Numbers of cakes Sara has = (4 + 4) ×5 = 40

Numbers of cakes Carol has = (6 + 7) ×5 = 65

a) Numbers of cakes Linda has is 50.

b) Numbers of cakes Carol has is 65

    Difference in Carol and Linda = 65 - 50 = 15.

c) Total numbers of cakes =50 + 80 + 40 + 65 = 235.

d) Highest number of cake = 80

    Lowest number of cake = 40

    So, their difference is the = 80 - 40 = 40.

c) Find the total number of workers in shift 2.

d) Find the total number of workers who worked on Saturday in shift 3.
[4 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution :

Each part: 1 Mark

Total numbers of workers in the industry is 1000

So, workers of shift 1+ workers of shift 2 + Workers of shift 3 =1000

Workers of shift 3 in Monday = 1000 - (300 + 520) = 180

Workers of shift 2 in Tuesday = 1000 -  (270 + 470) = 260

Workers of shift 3 in Wednesday = 1000 - (350 + 450) = 200

Workers of shift 2 in Thursday = 1000 - (400 + 250) = 350

Workers of shift 1 in Friday = 1000 - (420 + 330) = 250

Workers of shift 3 in Saturday= 1000 - (500 + 250) = 250

a) The numbers of workers worked on Tuesday in shift 2 = 260

b) Numbers of workers in shift 2 =(520 + 260 + 450 + 350 + 420 + 250 ) = 2250

c) Total numbers of  workers in shift 3 =( 180 + 470 + 200 + 250 + 330 + 250 ) = 1680

d) Total number of workers who worked on Saturday in shift 3 = 1000 - (500 + 250) = 250
