The graph above shows the cumulative frequency curve of the distribution of marks in a class test. What percentage of the students scored more than 20 marks?

A.

68%

B.

28%

C.

17%

D.

8%

Correct answer is B

\(\begin{array}{c|c} \text{class-marks(x)} & \text{(freq. (f)} & \text{cum. freq.}\\\hline 9 & &3.....3\\14 & & 6....3 + 6 = 9\\ 19 & & 9.....9 + 9 = 18\\ 24 & & 3.....18 + 3 = 21\\ 29 & & 2.....21 + 2 = 23\\ 34 & & 2.....23 + 2 = 25\\ & & 25\end{array}\)
% of students scoring more than 20 marks

= \(\frac{7}{25}\) x 100% = 28%

The histogram above shows the ages of victims of a pollution. How many people were involved in the pollution?

A.

20

B.

21

C.

15

D.

18

Correct answer is A

\(\begin{array}{c|c} \text{Age in years} & 10 & 20 & 30 & 40 & 50 \\\hline \text{frequency} & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 2\end{array}\)

\(\sum f \) = number of people involved in the pollution

\(\sum f\) = 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 2 = 20

In the diagram PQR is a straight line and PS is a tangent to the circle < QRS with |PS| = |SR| and < SPR = 40°. Find PSQ

A.

20o

B.

40o

C.

10o

D.

30o

Correct answer is B

PS = SR

\(\bigtriangleup\)PSR is an isosceles

< P = < SPQ = 40°

< R = < SRQ

< PSQ = < SRQ (alternate segment)

< PSQ = 40°
