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 = 212Marks 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.

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 = 65a) 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.
Question 9
The table shows the attendance of 1000 workers in an industry.
Answer the following questions.
DaysShift 1Shift 2Shift 3Monday300520Tuesday270470Wednesday350450Thursday400250Friday420330Saturday500250
a) Find the numbers of workers who worked on Tuesday in shift 2.
b) Find the total number of workers in shift 3.
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 1000So, 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
