Reason (R). Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.
9. Assertion (A): Histogram is a resultant graph that appears like a solid figure, with consecutive
rectangles having no gap in between.
Reason (R): Histogram is a graphical representation of a grouped frequency distribution with
consecutive classes.

10. Assertion (A): Frequency polygons can be drawn independently without the histogram by joining
the midpoints of the class–marks. These midpoint of the class marks are called class intervals.
Reason (R): Class mark = (Upper limit + Lower limit)/2

158 – 161 15
162 – 165 10
166 – 169 5
170 – 173 6
In which intervals would 153.5 and 157.5 be included?

12. Study the following graph and answer the question given below

(i) In which years is the highest and lowest ever voters turn-out (in %)?
(ii) For which two years, the numeric difference in voters turn-out (in %) was nearly equal to 10%?

13. The table given below shows the number of persons from various age groups who participated in a
campaign for promoting "USE OF CLEAN FUEL".
Age Group 10 – 15 15 – 20 20 – 25 25 – 30 30 – 35 35 – 40
No. of persons 12 25 22 37 48 30
(i) Determine the class size.
(ii) Write the class limits of first class interval.
(iii) What is the class mark of fourth class interval?
(iv) Which class interval has maximum frequency?

Construct a histogram to represent the data above.

SECTION – E (Case Study Based Questions)

Questions 19 to 20 carry 4 marks each.
19. The Class Teacher of Class X is diligently preparing a comprehensive result analysis for a student.
To gain a clearer understanding of the student’s academic progress, she compares the marks
obtained in Class IX (2018-19) and Class X (2019-20) across various subjects. Using a double bar
graph, the teacher visually represents the data to identify trends, such as improvements, consistency,
or areas requiring attention. This graphical comparison helps in drawing meaningful insights into the
student’s performance over the two years, enabling the teacher to provide personalized feedback and
guidance for further improvement. The double bar graph is illustrated below, showcasing the
subject-wise comparison of marks.

 On the basis of the above information solve the following questions.
(a) In which subject has the performance improved the most?
(b) In which subject has the performance deteriorated?
(c) What is the difference of marks in Maths in the given academic years?
(d) What is the percentage of marks obtained by a student in Class X (2019-20)?

20. In order to monitor and reduce reckless driving on Delhi roads, authorities have taken proactive
measures by installing advanced speed-monitoring cameras at strategic locations prone to over
speeding. These cameras aim to enhance road safety and ensure compliance with traffic regulations.
Below is a frequency distribution table representing the speeds of cars observed passing through a
specific monitoring spot on a particular day in Delhi. This data provides insights into driving
patterns and helps identify areas where enforcement or awareness campaigns may be required.

Speed (in km/h) Numbers of four-wheeler

30 – 40 3
40 – 50 6
50 – 60 25
60 – 70 65
70 – 80 50
