Answer: Option C. -> 15
:
C

According to the bar graph, we get to know that a girl whose age is 10 years has a height of 60 inches, if the age is 15 years then the height is 65 inches and lastly if the age is 20 years then the height is 66 inches. Hence the height of the 15 year old girl is 65 inches.


Question 42.


What is the lower class limit for the class interval 40 - 70?


  1.     55
  2.     45
  3.     40
  4.     35
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 40
:
C
We know that the lower class limit for a class is the  lowest value that can go into that class.
So, the lower class limit for the class 40-70 is 40.
Question 43.


The proportion of time spent in the gym by a person is ____.
(Refer the pie chart given below)


The Proportion Of Time Spent In The Gym By A Person Is ____....


  1.     12
  2.     112
  3.     13
  4.     25
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 112
:
B

Total hours(as per the pie chart)= 12 + 2 + 2 + 8 = 24 hours
Total number of hours spent in the gym = 2 hours
The proportion of time spent in gym
=hours spent in the gymtotal number of hours=224=112


Question 44.


Statement 1: Bar Graph is a graph of rectangles.


Statement 2: Width of the rectangle gives us the quantity that bar is representing.


  1.     1 and 2 both are true
  2.     1 is true and 2 is false
  3.     2 is true and 1 is false
  4.     Both 1 and 2 is false
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1 is true and 2 is false
:
B

Statement 1: Bar Graph Is A Graph Of Rectangles.Statement 2:...
A bar graph is shown in the figure above. As you can see the height of the rectangle gives us the frequency of the object the bar is representing. The width does not represent any quantity. Thus statement 1 is true while statement 2 is false.


Question 45.


The kind of graph the following figure represents is a __ graph


The Kind Of Graph The Following Figure Represents Is A __ Gr...


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1 is true and 2 is false
:

Bar graph is a graph of rectangles where the height of the bar gives us the quantity we are interested in. Thus, the figure above represents a bar graph.


Question 46.


A certain mixture contains gases according to the following proportions. Name the first two gases obtained after they are arranged in the decreasing order of their content.


A Certain Mixture Contains Gases According To The Following ...
  1.     Oxygen
  2.     Carbon dioxide
  3.     Sulphur dioxide
  4.     Nitrogen
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Carbon dioxide
:
B and C

According to the pie chart, sulphur dioxide has the highest content which is 50%. Carbon dioxide has 25%. Nitrogen and oxygen combined together have 25% content according to the pie chart. Therefore, when we arrange them in the decreasing order the first gas that we get is sulphur dioxide and the second one is carbon dioxide.


Question 47.


The following data relates to the expenses for a household in Bangalore.
ItemsExpenditure(in Rs)Food4000Clothing2000Rent1500Education1500Miscellaneous1000
The central angle of Clothing will be ___.


  1.     36
  2.     54
  3.     59
  4.     72
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 72
:
D

Total expenditure is:
4000 + 2000 + 1500 + 1500 + 1000 = 10,000
Central angle of clothing is
=expenditure on clothingtotal expenditure
=(200010000×360)=72


Question 48.


Find the probability of getting an ace from a well-shuffled deck of 52 playing cards?


  1.     19
  2.     16
  3.     113
  4.     152
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 113
:
C

Number of aces =  4


Total number of cards = 52


Probability of getting an ace
=No. of acesTotal no. of cards
=452
=113


Question 49.


A bag contains 1 red ball 1 green ball 2 blue balls and 1 black ball. If a ball is drawn out of the bag, the probability of getting a ball of each colour is equally likely.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     16
  4.     0
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B

Probability=no. of favorable outcomestotal no. of outcomes
Therefore, the probability of getting a blue ball =25


While the probability of getting a black ball =15
Also, the probabiltiy of getting a green ball =15


So the events are not equally likely.


Question 50.


If a die is thrown, what is the probability of getting a multiple of 3?


  1.     13
  2.     12
  3.     16
  4.     0
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 13
:
A

If a die is thrown then the outcomes which are multiple of 3 are 3 and 6.


So the probability of getting 3 and 6 
=Outcomes of interestTotal number of outcomes
 =26 = 13
