in Jammu and Kashmir. The cultivation of apple crop in Jammu and Kashmir shows
particular interest for a number of reasons. In terms of both area and production,
apple is very beneficial fruit crop. This provides a major source of income and
employment in Jammu and Kashmir. Horticultural department has tasked their

40-50 18 working in some school In his class X, total 80
students are there. He decided to teach them
as per their capabilities. So, he conducted one revision test on the basis of
class IX result. The maximum marks were 50. There were 12 students who
scored less than 10 marks. Shruthi who got 3 marks was handed over a red
card as an intimation to work hard for one month and show improvement, as
she scored the least in the class. Anish was presented a badge of honour for
scoring the highest in the class. He scored 48 marks. Best performer badge

 ANSWERS:

Q. NO ANSWER MARKS
1. (i) 4/13 4
(ii) 1/52
(iii) 11/13
(iv) 2/13

2. The total no. of possible outcomes= 100 4

(i) No. of even numbers from 1 to 100 = 50
∴ P ( A even number ) = 50/100= ½
(ii) Multiples of 13 from 1 to 100 are 13, 26, 39, 52, 65, 78 and 91
No. of favourable Outcomes = 7
∴ P (multiple of 13 )= 7/100
(iii) Perfect square no, from 1 to 100 are 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81 and 100
No. of favourable outcomes = 10
∴ P ( perfect square number) = 10/100=1/10
(iv) Prime numbers less than 20 are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17 and 19
No. of favourable outcomes = 8
∴ P ( A prime number less than 20 ) = 8/100= 2/25.

3. (i)a is correct option (ii) c is correct option. 4

(iii) Class 110-120 has the maximum frequency 24, therefore this is model class. (d) is correct
option.
(iv) Here, l = 110, f1 = 24, f0 = 20, f2 = 8 and h = 10 (d) is correct option
4. (I)Ans : 20 +++ 60 70 x + 60 = 250 210 + x = 250 x = 250 − 210 = 40Thus (a) is correct option 4
(II) (b) is correct option.

(III) Cumulative frequency just

greater than N/2=250/2=125 is 150 and
the corresponding class is 120-140. Thus
median class is 120-140 and upper limit is
140. Thus (d) is correct option.
(IV) Class 120-140 has the maximum frequency 70, therefore this is model class. Here, l = 120,
f1 = 70, f0 = 60, f2 = 60 and h = 20, Thus (b) is correct option.
5. i)d ii)b iii)b iv)a 4

800-900 7 72 + x + y
900-1000 4 76 + x + y
Total 76 + x + y
 (i) (c): Here, it is given that total frequency = 100
∴ 76 + x + y = 100 ⇒⇒ x + y = 24
(ii) (c)
(iii) (b) Since, maximum frequency is 20, so modal class is 500 - 600.
Hence, upper limit of modal class is 600
(iv) (b) : Since, x + y = 24 ⇒⇒ y = 24 - 9 = 15

b) ii) 20-30
c) iii) 26.125
d) iv) 45

8. i)(b):Since, the highest frequency is 70, therefore the maximum number 4

of children are of the age-group 10-12
(ii) (a): Since, the modal class is 10-12 Lower limit of modal class is10
iii) c) Here,f-58.f, 70 and f, 42 Thus, the frequency of the class
succeeding the modal class is 42
