A drawbridge is 60 metre long when stretched across a river. As shown in the figure, the two sections of
the bridge can be rotated upward through an angle of 30c .

37. Auditorium, the part of a public building where an audience sits, as distinct from the stage, the area
on which the performance or other object of the audience’s attention is presented. In a large theatre an
auditorium includes a number of floor levels frequently designed as stalls, private boxes, dress circle,
balcony or upper circle, and gallery. A sloping floor allows the seats to be arranged to give a clear view of
the stage. The walls and ceiling usually contain concealed light and sound equipment and air extracts or
inlets and may be highly decorated.

In an auditorium, seats are arranged in rows and columns. The number of rows are equal to the number of
seats in each row. When the number of rows are doubled and the number of seats in each row is reduced
by 10, the total number of seats increases by 300.
(i) If x is taken as number of row in original arrangement, write the quadratic equation that describes
the situation ?
(ii) How many number of rows are there in the original arrangement?
(iii) How many number of seats are there in the auditorium in original arrangement ? How many number
of seats are there in the auditorium after re-arrangement.
(iv) How many number of columns are there in the auditorium after re-arrangement?

38. Life insurance is a contract between an insurance policy holder and an insurer or assurer, where the insurer
promises to pay a designated beneficiary a sum of money upon the death of an insured person (often the
policy holder). Depending on the contract, other events such as terminal illness or critical illness can also
trigger payment. The policy holder typically pays a premium, either regularly or as one lump sum.

SBI life insurance agent found the following data for distribution of ages of 100 policy holders. Calculate
the median age, if policies are given only to persons having age 18 years onwards but less than 60 years.
