17. A random survey of the number of children of various age groups playing in a park was found
as follows:
SECTION D (case study based) (1 x 4 =4)
18.(A) Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a wise old man. He decided to build a
unique water tank to store water for the entire village. He wanted the tank to be efficient and
aesthetically pleasing.
After much thought, he decided to design the tank in the shape of a hemisphere surmounted by a
cylinder. The total height of the tank was to be 10 meters, and the radius of both the hemisphere
and the cylinder was 4 meters.
Now, let's help the wise old man with some calculations:
1. What is the height of the cylindrical part of the tank?
2. What is the total surface area of the tank?
3. How much water can the tank hold?
4. If water is filled at a rate of 5 cubic meters per minute, how long will it take to fill the tank
completely?
Or
(B) A spherical water tank is to be constructed with a radius of 5 meters.
Based on this information, answer the following questions:
1. What is the surface area of the tank?
2. What is the volume of the tank?
3. If the tank is to be painted, and the cost of painting is Rs. 20 per square meter, what is the
total cost of painting the tank?
4. If the tank is filled with water at a rate of 10 cubic meters per minute, how long will it take
to fill the tank completely?
SECTION E (2x5 =10)
19. AB is a line-segment. P and Q are points on opposite sides of AB such that each of them is
equidistant from the points A and B . Show that the line PQ is the perpendicular bisector of AB.
20.(A) A corn cob, shaped somewhat like a cone, has the radius of its broadest end as 2.1 cm
and length (height) as 20 cm. If each 1 cm 2 of the surface of the cob carries an
average of four grains, find how many grains you would find on the entire cob.
Or
(B) The length of 40 leaves of a plant is measured correctly to one millimetre, and
the obtained data is represented in the following table:
(i) Draw a histogram to represent the given data.
(ii) Is there any other suitable graphical representation for the same data?
(iii) Is it correct to conclude that the maximum number of leaves is 153 mm long? Why?
(iv) How many leaves have a length between 136 mm and 144 mm?
(v) Calculate the mean length of the leaves.
