example-14Multiple choice

The pie chart gives the marks scored in an examination by a student in different subjects. If the total marks obtained were 540, answer the following questions–

  • (i)In which subject did the student score 105 marks?
  • (ii)How many more marks were obtained by the student in Mathematics than in Hindi?
Show solution

Solution : (i) For 540 marks, central angle = 360° 360 For 1 mark, central angle = 360 For 105 marks, central angle = 105 = 70° Hence the student scored 105 marks in Hindi. (ii) Central angle = 360° for 540 marks, 360° For 1 mark, central angle = For 90 marks, central angle = × 90 marks = 135 marks. Thus, the student gets 135 marks in Mathematics. From part (i) we get that the student gets 105 marks in Hindi. Difference in marks = 135 – 105 = 30 Hence, the student gets 30 more marks in Mathematics than in Hindi.

example-18Short answer

Application on problem solving strategy Given below is a pie chart depicting the reason given by people who had injured their lower back. Study the pie chart 12% and find the (4) (1) 1. Lifting number of people 2. Twisting 9% (5) who injured their 3. Bending 49% back while either (3) 18% 4. Pulling bending and lifting. (2) 5. Others A total of 600 people 12% were surveyed.

Show solution

Solution : Understand and explore the problem • What information is given in the question? The percentages of the most common reasons given by 600 people. • What are you trying to find? The total number of people out of 600 who have injured their back while bending and lifting. • Is there any information that is not needed? The percentages of other reasons except bending and lifting are not required. Plan a strategy • You have learnt to solve questions dealing with percentages in earlier classes. Use the same method to solve this question. • 18% have injured their back while bending and 49% have injured their back while lifting so– To find The total number of people can be found by finding (18% + 49%) = 67% of 600. Solve Total percentage of people who injured their back while bending and lifting = 18% +49% = 67%. Number of people who injured their back while bending and lifting = 67% of 600 = × 600 = 402 Hence, 402 people injured their back while bending and lifting. Revise You can check the answer by finding the total number of people who injured their backs for reasons other than bending and lifting and then subtracting the answer from the total number of people. Total percentage of people who injured their backs for reasons other than bending and lifting = 12% +12% + 9% = 33% Number of such people = 33% of 600 = × 600 = 198 So, 600 –198 should give us the answer for our original question, and 600 –198 = 402 which is same as our answer. Hence our answer is correct. (i) If the total angle covered by all sectors is 3600, find the angle covered by the sector representing the people who injured their back by pulling only. (ii) If the number of people surveyed is doubled, would the number of people who injured their back by bending and lifting also be doubled? In questions 1 to 35 there are four options given, out of which one is correct. Choose the correct answer.

All of us have some concept of statistics because magazines, newspapers, radio and TV advertisements are full of statistics or numerical data. Existence of the practice of collecting numerical data in ancient India is evident from the fact that during the reign of Chandragupta Maurya, there was a good system of collecting such data especially with regard to births and deaths. During Akbar’s reign, Raja Todarmal, the Land and Revenue Minister, maintained good records of land and agricultural statistics. In Ain- i-Akbari written by Abul Fazal, a detailed account of the administrative and statistical surveys conducted during that period can be found. From the paragraph given on the previous page prepare the frequency table of all the letters of the English alphabet and answer the questions that follow. 1. Frequency table for each letter of the alphabet. Letter Tally marks Frequency - - - (a) Which is the least frequently occuring letter? (b) Which vowel is most commonly used? (c) Which consonant is most commonly used? (d) Find the ratio of vowels to that of consonants. 2. Frequecy table for words with two or more letters. Number of words with Tally marks Frequency 2 letters 3 letters 4 letters 5 letters 6 letters more than 6 letters (a) How many two letter words are used in the paragraph? (b) How many words are used in all? (c) How many words have five letters or more? (d) What is the ratio of three letter words and five letter words? 4 Fun Activity Take a packet which has different colours of toffees/candies in it. Count the number of toffees of each colour and fill the data in the table given below. Also draw a pie chart to depict the data. Colour of candies Number Fraction Fraction of 360° Green 5 Conducting Survey Conduct a class survey to know the favourite T.V. channels and note the responses in the following table. Channels Number Fraction of Estimated per cent Caculated per cent of Votes Total Votes of Total Votes of Total Votes News Movies History and Nature Cartoon Sports How accurate is your estimation? Now, take a strip of thick chart paper, 1 cm wide and divide it into equal-sized rectangles – one for each student of your class. The entire strip represents your whole class, or 100% of the votes. On your strip, colour groups of rectangles according to the number of votes each choice received. Use a different colour for each choice. For example, if 5 students voted for movie, colour the first 5 rectangles blue. If 7 choose cartoon, colour the next 7 rectangle green. When you are finished, all the rectangles should be coloured. movie cartoon Now create a circle graph as shown below. – Tape the ends of your strip together, Movie with no overlap, to form a loop with the coloured rectangles inside. – Tape four copies of the quarter-circle template together to form a circle. – Place your above loop around the Movie circle. On the edge of the circle, mark rto where each colour begins and ends. – Remove the loop, and use a ruler to connect each mark you made to the centre of the circle. – Colour the sections of your graph. Label each section with the channels name and the fraction of votes that channel received. For example, your circle graph known as pie chart might look like this. Circle graphs in books, magazines, and newspapers are often labeled with per cents. Add per cent labels to your pie chart. 6 Marble Game Pramod is babysitting his little sister Monika and her two friends, Puja and Jyoti.
