1. Mahesh works as a manager in a hotel. He has to arrange seats in hall for a function. A hall
has a certain number of chairs. Guests want to sit in different groups like in pairs, triplets,
quadruplets, fives and sixes etc. When Mahesh arranges chairs in such pattern like in 2’s,
3’s, 4’s 5’s and 6’s then 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 chairs are left respectively. But when he arranges in
11’s, no chair will be left.
(i) In the hall, how many chairs are available?

(a) 407 (b) 143
(c) 539 (d) 209
Ans :
By dividing all the options by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 11, we will get that 539 is the only option
which leaves remainder 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 0 respectively.

two group:
(a) First group of Army contingent of 624 members behind an army band of 32 members.
(b) Second group of CRPF troops with 468 soldiers behind the 228 members of bikers.
These two groups are to march in the same number of columns. This sequence of soldiers
is followed by different states Jhanki which are showing the culture of the respective states.
(i) What is the maximum number of columns in which the army troop can march?
(a) 8 (b) 16
(c) 4 (d) 32
Ans :
We will find the HCF (624, 32) = 16
Thus (b) is correct option.
(ii) What is the maximum number of columns in which the CRPF troop can march?
(a) 4 (b) 8
(c) 12 (d) 16
Ans :
We will find the HCF (228, 468) = 12.
(iii) What is the maximum number of columns in which total army troop and CRPF troop
together can march past?
(a) 2 (b) 4
(c) 6 (d) 8
Ans :
According to the question, we have to find out
HCF(624, 32, 228, 468) = 4

Alternatively we can find,
HCF (16, 12) = 4
(iv) What should be subtracted with the numbers of CRPF soldiers and the number of bikers
so that their maximum number of column is equal to the maximum number of column
of army troop?
(a) 4 Soldiers and 4 Bikers
(b) 4 Soldiers and 2 Bikers
(c) 2 Soldiers and 4 Bikers
(d) 2 Soldiers and 2 Bikers
Ans :
Maximum number of column of army troop is 16. But 228 and 468 are not divisible by 16. If
we subtract 4 from 228 and 468, both(224 and 464) are divisible by 16.
(iv) What should be added with the numbers of CRPF soldiers and the number of bikers so
that their maximum number of column is equal to the maximum number of column of
army troop?
(a) 4 Soldiers and 4 Bikers
(b) 12 Soldiers and 12 Bikers
(c) 6 Soldiers and 6 Bikers
(d) 12 Soldiers and 6 Bikers
Ans :
Maximum number of column of army troop is 16. But 228 and 468 are not divisible by 16. If
we add 12 from 228 and 468, both(240 and 480) are divisible by 16.

4. Amar, Akbar and Anthony are playing a game. Amar climbs 5 stairs and gets down 2 stairs
in one turn. Akbar goes up by 7 stairs and comes down by 2 stairs every time. Anthony goes
10 stairs up and 3 stairs down each time. Doing this they have to reach to the nearest point
of 100th stairs and they will stop once they find it impossible to go forward. (They have less
number of stairs than required forward stairs).
(i) Who reaches the nearest point?
(a) Amar
(b) Akbar
(c) Anthony
(d) All together reach to the nearest point.
Ans :
Amar will reach up to 93 steps then he will go for 5 steps up and 2 steps down hence covering
96 steps. Since 100 th step is final, so he will not cover more steps. Akbar will reach up to
95 steps, since 100 th step is final, so he will not cover more steps. Anthony will reach up to
91 steps, since 100 th step is final, so she will not cover more steps. Thus akbar reaches the
nearest point.
(ii) How many times can they meet in between on same step?
(a) 3
(b) 4
(c) 5
(d) No, they cannot meet in between on same step.
Ans :
LCM (3, 5, 7) =105 step.

Since, total steps are 100 steps, they cannot meet in between on same step.
Thus (d) is correct option.
(iii) Who takes least number of steps to reach near hundred?
(a) Amar
(b) Akbar
(c) Anthony
(d) All of them take equal number of steps.
Ans :
Amar will take 32 steps, Akbar will take 19 steps and Anthony will take 13 steps to reach to
96 steps, 95 steps and 91 steps respectively.
(iv) What is the first stair where any two out of three will meet together?
(a) Amar and Akbar will meet for the first time after 15 steps.

5. Ashish supplies bread and jams to a hospital and a school. Bread and jam are supplied in
equal number of pieces. Bread comes in a bunch of 8 pieces and Jam comes in a pack of 6
pieces. On a particular day, Ashish has supplied x packets of bread and y packets of jam to
the school. On the same day, Ashish has supplied 3x packets of bread along with sufficient
packets of jam to hospital. It is known that the number of students in the school are between
500 and 550.
(i) How many students are there in school?
(a) 508 (b) 504
(c) 512 (d) 548
Ans :
Firstly we will find LCM (8, 6) =24. Now we will find a multiple of 24 in between 500 and
550 i.e., 504 or 528. Thus there 504 students in school.
(ii) How many packets of bread are supplied in the school?
(a) 63 packets (b) 86 packets
(c) 65 packets (d) 84 packets
Ans :
For equal distribution of bread among each student, we need 504 pieces of bread. Hence, we
need (504/8=63) i.e. 63 packets of bread.
(iii) How many packets of jams are supplied in the school?
Ans :
For equal distribution of jam pieces among each student, we need 504 pieces of jam. Hence,
we need (504/6=84) i.e. 84 packets of jam.
(iv) How many packets of bread are supplied in the hospital?
Ans :
For hospital, we need 3x packets of bread i.e. 3 # 63 = 189 packets of bread.
(v) How many packets of jams are supplied in the hospital?

Ans :
Since, number of bread pieces are 189 # 8 = 1512 , so we need same number
of jam pieces. Hence 1512 6 = 252 packets of jam are distributed in the hospital.
6. Underground water sump is popular in India. It is usually used for large water sump storage
and can be built cheaply using cement-like materials. Underground water sump are typically
chosen by people who want to save space. The water in the underground sump is not affected
by extreme weather conditions. The underground sump maintain cool temperatures in both

=− 10 (x2 − 350x + 6600)

=− 10 [(x − 175) 2 − 30625 + 6600]

=− 10 [(x − 175) 2 − 24025]

=− 10 (x − 175) 2 + 240250

From above equation it is clear that maximum value of P (x) is 240250.
10. Dipesh bought 3 notebooks and 2 pens for Rs. 80. His friend Ramesh said that price of each
notebook could be Rs. 25. Then three notebooks would cost Rs.75, the two pens would cost
Rs. 5 and each pen could be for Rs. 2.50. Another friend Amar felt that Rs. 2.50 for one pen
was too little. It should be at least Rs. 16. Then the price of each notebook would also be
Rs.16.
Lokesh also bought the same types of notebooks and pens as Dipesh. He paid 110 for 4
notebooks and 3 pens
(i) Let the cost of one notebook be x and that of pen be y . Which of the following set
describe the given problem ?
(a) 2x + 3y = 80 and 3x + 4y = 110
(b) 3x + 2y = 80 and 4x + 3y = 110
(c) 2x + 3y = 80 and 4x + 3y = 110
(d) 3x + 2y = 80 and 3x + 4y = 110
Ans :
According to the statement, we have
3x + 2y = 80 and 4x + 3y = 110
(ii) Whether the estimation of Ramesh and Amar is applicable for Lokesh?
(a) Ramesh’s estimation is wrong but Amar’s estimation is correct.
(b) Ramesh’s estimation is correct but Amar’s estimation is wrong.
(c) Both estimation are correct.
(b) Ramesh’s estimation is wrong but Amar’s estimation is also wrong.
Ans :
Consider the prices mentioned by Ramesh.
If the price of one notebook is Rs. 25 and the price of one pen is Rs. 2.50 then,
The cost of 4 notebooks would be : 4 # 25 = 100 Rs
And the cost for 3 pens would be : 3 # 2.5 = 7.5 Rs

Lokesh should have paid 100 + 7.5 = 107.5 Rs.
But he paid Rs. 110, thus Ramesh’s estimation is wrong.
Now, consider the prices mentioned by Amar.
The cost of 4 notebooks, if one is for Rs.16, would be : 4 # 16 = 64 Rs
And the cost for 3 pens, if one is for Rs. 16, would be : 3 # 16 = 64 Rs
Lokesh should have paid 64 + 48 = 112 Rs but this is more than the price he paid.
Therefore, Amar’s estimation is also wrong.
(iii) What is the exact cost of the notebook?
(a) Rs 10 (b) Rs 20
(c) Rs 16 (d) Rs 24
Ans :
Solving 3x + 2y = 80 and 4x + 3y = 110 we get
x = 20 and y = 10
Thus cost of 1 notebook is 20 Rs and cost of 1 pen is 10 Rs
(iv) What is the exact cost of the pen?
(a) Rs 10 (b) Rs 20
(c) Rs 16 (d) Rs 24
Ans :
Cost of 1 pen = Rs. 10
(v) What is the total cost if they will purchase the same type of 15 notebooks and 12 pens.
(a) Rs 410 (b) Rs 200
(c) Rs 420 (d) Rs 240
Ans :
Total cost 15 # 20 + 12 # 10 = 420 Rs
11. Mr. RK Agrawal is owner of a famous amusement park in Delhi. Generally he does not go to
park and it is managed by team of staff. The ticket charge for the park is Rs 150 for children
and Rs 400 for adults.
One day Mr Agrawal decided to random check the park and went there. When he checked
the cash counter, he found that 480 tickets were sold and Rs 134500 was collected.
(i) Let the number of children visited be x and the number of adults visited be y . Which
of the following is the correct system of equation that model the problem ?
(a) x + y = 480 and 3x + 8y = 2690
(b) x + 2y = 480 and 3x + 4y = 2690
(c) x + y = 480 and 3x + 4y = 2690
(d) x + 2y = 480 and 3x + 8y = 2690
Ans :
Since 480 people visited thus x + y = 480 .

25. Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium is a multi-purpose sports stadium and a very popular sports
stadium of Delhi. It has a capacity to seat 60,000 people. It is the third largest multi-purpose
stadium in India and owned by the Indian Olympic Association. In 2010, the Jawaharlal
Nehru Stadium was the main stadium for XIX Commonwealth Games; a major sporting
event.
Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium is conducting the annual sports competition soon. The curator of
the stadium is tasked to figuring out the dimensions for carving out some areas allotted for
a hockey court and a shooting range, as shown in the figure below.
The shapes of the hockey court and the shooting range are square and triangle respectively.
Both of the courts have a common edge that touches the centre of stadium. The construction
of the shooting range is such that the angle to centre is 90c. The radius of the stadium is
180 metres.
On the basis of the above information, answer any four of the following questions:
(i) What is the area allotted to shooting range ?
(a) 12, 600 m2 (b) 22, 000 m2
(c) 20, 000 m2 (d) 16, 880 m2
Ans :
Here TAOB is a right-angled triangle in which AB is a hypotenuse.
Now AO = OB
= radius of circle = 200 m

Thus area of TAOB ,
= 1 # OA # OB

2
= 1 # 200 # 200 = 20, 000 m2

2
(ii) What is the area allotted to hockey court ?

(a) 12, 600 m2 (b) 22, 000 m2
(c) 20, 000 m2 (d) 16, 880 m2
Ans :
Here OCDE is a square whose diagonal is equal to the radius of the circle. Let a be side of
square.
Now a2 + a2 = ^200h2
2a2 = 200 # 200
a = 100 # 100 # 2 = 100 2 cm
a2 = ^100 2 h = 20, 000 m2

2
Area of square
Area of hockey court is equal to area of shooting court.
(iii) If the team of the curators managing the stadium, likes to allot space for some more
sports, how much area is available to them?
(a) 85, 600 m2 (b) 95, 800 m2
(c) 60, 040 m2 (d) 76, 980 m2
Ans :
Unoccupied area of stadium,
=Area of circle - (Area of hockey court + area of shooting court)

= πr2 − ^20, 000 + 20, 000h

= 40, 000π − 40, 000

= 40000 (π − 1)

= 40, 000 # 2.14 = 85, 600 m2

(iv) If the boundaries of the hockey court and shooting range are to be fenced, then what is
the required length of the fence ?
(a) 200 ^2 + 5 3 h m (b) 200 ^2 + 3 2 h m
(c) 200 ^2 + 5 2 h m (d) 200 ^2 + 3 3 h m
Ans :
Boundaries need to be fenced
= perimeter of triangle + perimeter of square

For triangle, length of AB ,
AB = OA2 + OB 2 = 2002 + 2002 = 200 2 cm
Perimeter of triangle,
OA + OB + AB = 200 + 200 + 200 2 = 400 + 200 2
Perimeter of square,
4a = 4 # 100 2 = 400 2
Boundary need to be fenced
= 400 + 200 2 + 400 2

= 400 + 600 2 = 200 ^2 + 3 2 h m

(v) If the cost of fencing is Rs 6 per metre, what is the total cost of fencing ?
(a) Rs 2400 ^2 + 3 2 h (b) Rs 1200 ^2 + 5 2 h
(c) Rs 1200 ^2 + 3 2 h (d) Rs 2400 ^2 + 3 2 h
Ans :
Cost of Fencing = Length of Fence # Rate
= 200 ^2 + 3 2 h # 6 = 1200 ^2 + 3 2 h

26. Due to ongoing Corona viruse outbreak, Raj Medical store has started selling masks of
decent quality. The store is selling two types of masks currently type A and type B . The
cost of one type A mask is Rs. 15 and of one type B mask is Rs. 20. In the month of April,
2020, the store sold 100 masks for total sales of Rs. 1650.
Due to great demand and short supply, the store has increased the price of each type by Rs.
5 from May 1, 2020. In the month of May, 2020, the store sold 310 masks for total sales of
Rs. 6875.
(i) How many masks of each type were sold in the month of April?
(a) 40 masks of type A, and 60 masks of type B
(b) 60 masks of type A, and 40 masks of type B
(c) 70 masks of type A, and 30 masks of type B
(d) 30 masks of type A, and 70 masks of type B
Ans :
Let x be the mask of type A sold and y be the type of mask B sold in April.
Now x + y = 100 ...(1)
and 15x + 20y = 1650 ...(2)
Multiplying equation (1) by 15 and subtracting from (2) we obtain,
5y = 150 & y = 30
x = 100 − 30 = 70
Hence 70 masks of type A, and 30 masks of type B were sold.
(ii) If the store had sold 50 masks of each type, what would be its sales in the month of April?
(a) Rs 550 (b) Rs 560
(c) Rs 1050 (d) Rs 1750
Ans :
Total Sales = 50 # 15 + 50 # 20 = 1750

(iii) How many masks of each type were sold in the month of May?
(a) 175 masks of type A, and 135 masks of type B
(b) 200 masks of type A, and 110 masks of type B
(c) 110 masks of type A, and 200 masks of type B
(d) 135 masks of type A, and 175 masks of type B
Ans :
Let x be the mask of type A sold and y be the type of mask B were sold in April.
Now, x + y = 310 ...(1)
and 20x + 25y = 6875 ...(ii)
Multiplying equation (1) by 20 and subtracting it from equation (2), we obtain
5y = 675 & y = 135
x = 310 − 135 = 175
(iv) What percent of masks of each type sale was increased in the month of May, compared
with the sale of month April?
(a) 110 % in type A and 180 % in type B
(b) 180 % in type A and 110 % in type B
(c) 350 % in type A and 150 % in type B
(d) 150 % in type A and 350 % in type B
Ans :
Increase in type A = 175 − 70 # 100 = 150 %

70
Increase in type B = 105 − 30 # 100 = 350 %

30

(v) What extra profit did he earned by increasing price in May month.
(a) Rs 1550 (b) Rs 3100
(c) Rs 1650 (d) Rs 1825
Ans :
Total sale value in May at old price

= 175 # 15 + 135 # 20 = 5325

Total sale value in May at new price
= 6875

Extra Profit = 6875 − 5325 = 1550
Alternative :
Since extra profit is Rs 5 on per mask and total mask sold are 310, thus extra profit
= 310 # 5 = 1550 .

32. A road roller (sometimes called a roller-compactor, or just roller) is a compactor-type

engineering vehicle used to compact soil, gravel, concrete, or asphalt in the construction of
roads and foundations. Similar rollers are used also at landfills or in agriculture. Road rollers
are frequently referred to as steamrollers, regardless of their method of propulsion.
RCB Machine Pvt Ltd started making road roller 10 year ago. Company increased its
production uniformly by fixed number every year. The company produces 800 roller in the
6th year and 1130 roller in the 9th year.

(a) 150 (b) 200
(c) 250 (d) 290
Ans :
Let a be the production in first year and d be the increase every year in production.
We have a6 = 800
a9 = 1130
Now, a + (6 − 1) d = 800
a + 5d = 800 ...(1)
Similarly a + 8d = 1130 ...(2)
Solving (1) and (2), we get

d = 110
a = 800 − 5 # 110 = 250
(ii) What was the company’s production in the 8th year ?
(a) 760 (b) 820
(c) 880 (d) 1020
Ans :
Since, a = 250 and d = 110

a8 = a + (8 − 1) d = 250 + 7 # 110 = 1020
(iii) What roller the company’s total production of the first 6 years?
(a) 3150 (b) 1775
(c) 2250 (d) 1725
Ans :
Production in 6 th year is 800 rollers.

(iv) What was the increase in the company’s production every year ?
(a) 160 (b) 130
(c) 90 (d) 110
Ans :
In part (i), we have calculated d = 110 which is the increase every year in production. Hence,
the production increases constantly by 110 every year.
(v) In which year the company’s production was 1350 rollers ?
(a) 5 th (b) 6 th
(c) 11 th (d) 9 th
Ans :
Suppose company produce 1350 rollers in n th year.
Then, an = a + (n − 1) d
= 250 + (n − 1) # 110
1350
(n - 1) 110 = 1350 − 250 = 1100
n - 1 = 10 & n = 11

C.S.A. of cylinder = 2prcy hcy + pr cy2
= πrcy (2hcy + rcy)

= 20π (2 # 33 + 20)

= 1720π mm2

(ii) If its conical part is to be painted blue, the surface area need to be painted is
(a) 4328π mm2 (b) 1124π mm2
(c) 3956π mm2 (d) 3528π mm2
Ans :
C.S.A. of conical part,
prco lco + pr co2 − pr cy2 = prco h co2 + r co2 + p (r co2 − r cy2 )
= π [rco h co2 + r co2 + (r co2 − r cy2 )]

= π [36 772 + 362 + (362 − 202)]

= π [36 # 85 + (362 − 202)]

= π (3060 + 1296 − 400)

= 3956π mm2

(iii) How much of the wood have been used in making the toy ?
(a) 56824π mm3 (b) 46464π mm3

Ans :
Surface area = S.A. of cone + S.A. of cylinder

= 3956π + 1720π = 5676 mm2

Cost of painting is 2 paise for 8π mm2 , thus cost of painting of 1 mm2 is 2
8r paise.
Hence cost of painting of a toy of 3956π mm2 ,
= 2 # 5676p = 1419 paise
8p
Cost of painting of 100 toys,
= 1419 # 100 = 141900 paise = 1419 Rs

(v) If the toy manufacturer company charge 3 paise for 32π mm3 of wood, what is the price
of a box of 100 toys?
(a) 4356 Rs (b) 4698 Rs
(c) 4178 Rs (d) 4898 Rs
Ans :
Cost of toy is 3 paise for 32π mm3 of wood, thus cost of wood of 1 mm 3 is 3
32r paise.
Hence cost of a toy of 46464π mm3 ,
= 3 # 46464p = 4356 paise
32p
Cost of box of 100 toys,

= 4356 # 100 = 435600 paise = 4356 Rs

38. Lavanya throws a ball upwards, from a rooftop, which is 20 m above from ground. It will
reach a maximum height and then fall back to the ground. The height of the ball from the
ground at time t is h , which is given by h =− 4t2 + 16t + 20 .
(i) What is the height reached by the ball after 1 second?
(a) 64 m (b) 128 m
(c) 32 m (d) 20 m
Ans :
Height is given by,
h =− 4t 2 + 16t + 20
At t = 1 second,
h =− 4 (1) 2 + 16 (1) + 20 = 32 m
(ii) What is the maximum height reached by the ball?
(a) 54 m (b) 44 m
(c) 36 m (d) 18 m
Ans :
Rearranging the given equation, by completing the square,
h =− 4 (t2 − 4t − 5) =− 4 (t2 − 4t + 4 − 4 − 5)
=− 4 [(t − 2) 2 − 9] =− 4 (t − 2) 2 + 36

Height is maximum, at t = 2 , thus
hmax = 0 + 36 = 36 m
(iii) How long will the ball take to hit the ground?
(a) 4 seconds (b) 3 seconds
(c) 5 seconds (d) 6 seconds
Ans :
When ball hits the ground, h = 0 , thus
− 4t 2 + 16t + 20 = 0
t 2 - 4t - 5 = 0
(t − 5) (t + 1) = 0
Thus t = 5 or t =− 1. Since, time cannot be negative, the t = 5 seconds is correct answer.
(iv) What are the two possible times to reach the ball at the same height of 32 m?
(a) 1 and 3 seconds (b) 1.5 and 2.5 seconds
(c) 0.5 and 2.5 seconds (d) 1.6 and 2.6 seconds
Ans :
Since, h =− 4t 2 + 16t 2 + 20
=− 4t 2 + 16t 2 + 20
32
=− t 2 + 4t 2 + 5
8
t 2 − 4t + 3 = 0
t 2 + 3t − t + 3 = 0
(t - 1) (t - 3) = 0 & t = 3, 1
(v) Where is the ball after 5 seconds ?
(a) at the ground (b) rebounds
(c) at highest point (d) fall back
Ans :
From (iii) at t = 5 we have h = 0 . Thus it will hit ground, then after that ball will rebound.

46. The boiler is essentially a closed vessel inside which water is stored. Fuel (generally coal) is
burnt in a furnace and hot gasses are produced. These hot gasses come in contact with water
vessel where the heat of these hot gases transfer to the water and consequently steam is
produced in the boiler. Then this steam is piped to the turbine of thermal power plant. There
are many different types of boiler utilized for different purposes like running a production
unit, sanitizing some area, sterilizing equipment, to warm up the surroundings etc.

getting every last drop from the tank is important. This type of tank has excellent geometry
for draining, especially with high solids content slurries as these cone tanks provide a better
full-drain solution. The conical tank eliminates many of the problems that flat base tanks
have as the base of the tank is sloped towards the centre giving the greatest possible full-
drain system in vertical tank design.

Case Study Questions Class 10th Exam 2020-21

(i) In the hall, how many chairs are available?

HCF(624, 32, 228, 468) = 4

(i) How many maximum guests Shalvi can invite?

LCM (3, 5, 7) =105 step.

Thus (a) is correct option.

(a) 248 packets (b) 252 packets

Three dimension of sump are

8. Pyramid, in architecture, a monumental structure constructed of or faced with stone or brick

V ^y h = 3y3 + 18y2 + 27y = 3y ^y2 + 6y + 9h = 3y ^y + 3h2

a2 = 576 & a = 24 unit

Based on this model answer the following questions:

When no barrels are produced, x = 0

P (175) =− 10 (175) 2 + 3500 (175) − 66000 = 240250

P (400) =− 10 (400) 2 + 3500 (400) − 66000 =− 266000

And the cost for 3 pens would be : 3 # 2.5 = 7.5 Rs

(i) How many field goals did he make ?

Area of grassland, Ag = (2x + 3) x

distance = (speed )/time

We have x2 + 30x − 400 = 0

their own cars.

Since x =− 25 is not possible, we get x = 20

Rias car speed = 20 + 5 = 25 km/hour

Time Taken = 400 = 16 hour

We have x2 - 20x - 300 = 0

Total seats in rearrangement = 302 + 300 = 900 + 300 = 1200

= Total seats = 1200 = 20 Column

S. No. Article Cost per student

We have 2000 + 20 = 2000

(ii) What is the number of students planned for picnic ?

Thus, x = 25 − 5 = 20 Students attended picnic

Expanse per Student = 5 + 10 + 25 + 50 + 15 = 105

(v) How much money they spent for travelling ?

Expanse on travelling 50 # 20 = 1000

At break even P (x) = 0 , thus

We have P (x) =− x2 + 22x − 40

Here, l = 60 , f1 = 29 , f0 = 21, f2 = 17 and h = 20

(iv) What is the value of median marks ?

20. In the following frequency distribution, find the median class.

Height 104- 145- 150- 155- 160- 165-

Height Frequency c.f.

(ii) What is the value of median height ?

(a) 145.67 (b) 157.67

Here, l = 155 , f1 = 30 , f0 = 25 , f2 = 15 and h = 5

Monthly expendi- 0- 175 175-350 350-525 525-700 700-875 875-1050 1050-1125

(i) How many families spend between Rs 525- Rs 700 on milk ?

= 525 + 91.6 = 616.6

Here l = 700 , f0 = 21, f1 = 28 f2 = 7 , h = 175

= 700 + 43.75 = 743.75

Favourable outcomes are 71, 73, 75, ......99.

Thus (d) is correct option.

(a) What is the probability of getting the sum as an even number ?

Number of all possible outcomes in all case,

Favourable outcomes are {(2, 2), (4, 4), (6, 6)}

(i) What is the probability of favourite colour being red ?

Total Angle in region

Thus (a) is correct option.

P (blue of green) = 72c + 36c = 108c = 3 = 0.3

P (not red or blue) = 1 − P (red or blue)
