PSEB Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 11 Mensuration Ex 11.3

1. There are two cuboidal boxes as shown in the figures. Which box requires the lesser amount of material to make?

Solution:
For 1st cuboidal box:
length (l) = 60 cm, breadth (b) = 40 cm and height (h) = 50 cm
Total surface area of a cuboid
= 2 (lb + bh + lh)
= 2 [(60 × 40) + (40 × 50) + (50 × 60)]
= 2 (2400 + 2000 + 3000)
= 2(7400)
= 14,800 cm²

For 2nd cuboidal box:
l = b = h = 50 cm
Total surface area of a cuboid
= 2 (lb + bh + lh)
= 2 [(50 × 50) + (50 × 50) + (50 × 50)]
= 2(2500 + 2500 + 2500)
= 2 × 7500
= 15,000 cm²
As, total surface area of cuboid (a) is less, so the box (a) requires the less amount of material to make.

2. A suitcase with measures 80 cm × 48 cm × 24 cm is to be covered with a tarpaulin cloth. How many metres of tarpaulin of width 96 cm is required to cover 100 such suitcases?
Solution:
Let us find total surface area of a suitcase (cuboidal in shape).
length (l) = 80 cm, breadth (b) = 48 cm and height (h) = 24 cm
∴ Total surface area of a suitcase = 2 (lb + bh + lh)
= 2 [(80 × 48) + (48 × 24) + (24 × 80)]
= 2(3840 + 1152 + 1920)
= 2 (6912)
= 13,824 cm²
Total surface area of such 100 suitcases = 13,824 × 100
= 13,82,400 cm²
Area of 1 metre trapezium
= length × breadth
= 100 × 96 = 9600 cm²
Tarpaulin required to cover 100 suitcases = \(\frac{1382400}{9600}\) = 144 metres
Hence, 144 m tarpaulin is required to cover 100 suitcases.

3. Find the side of a cube whose surface area is 600 cm².
Solution:
Let the side of the cube be x cm
Total surface area of a cube = 6x²
Total surface area of the cube = 600 cm² (Given)
∴ 6x² = 600
∴ x² = \(\frac {600}{6}\)
∴ x² = 100
∴ x² = 10²
∴ x = 10
Hence, the side of the cube is 10 cm.

4. Rukhsar painted the outside of the cabinet of measure 1 m × 2 m × 1.5 m. How much surface area did she cover if she painted all except the bottom of the cabinet.

Solution:
For given cabinet:
length (l) = 2 m, breadth (b) = 1 m and height (h) = 1.5 m
Total surface area of the cabinet
= 2 (lb + bh + lh)
= 2 [(2 × 1) + (1 × 1.5) + (2 × 1.5)]
= 2 (2 + 1.5 + 3)
= 2(6.5) = 13 m²
She has not painted bottom. So subtract area of bottom from total surface area of the cabinet.
Area of bottom = l × b = 2 × 1 = 2m²
∴ Painted surface area = (13 – 2) m² = 11 m²
Hence, she has painted 11 m² area of a cabinet.

5. Daniel is painting the walls and ceiling of a cuboidal hall with length, breadth and height of 15 m, 10 m and 7 m respectively. From each can of paint 100 m² of area is painted. How many cans of paint will she need to paint the room?
Solution:
For given wall:
length (l) = 15 m, breadth (b) = 10 m and height (h) = 7 m
∴ Area to be painted
= Area of 4 walls + Area of ceiling
= [2 (l + b) × h] + l × b
= [2(15 + 10) × 7] + 15 × 10
= [2(25) × 7] + 150
= 350 + 150 = 500 m²
Now, one can of paint covers 100 m² area.
∴ Number of paint cans needed
= \(\frac{\text { Area to be painted }}{\text { Area painted by one can }}=\frac{500 \mathrm{~m}^{2}}{100 \mathrm{~m}^{2}}\)
Hence, 5 cans of paint will be needed.

6. Describe how the two figures given are alike and how they are different. Which box has larger lateral surface area?

Solution:
Here, figure (i) is cylinder and figure (ii) is cube.
Similarity: Both have the same height.
Difference: One is the cylinder and the other is a cube.
For cylinder:
Radius = \(\frac{\text { diameter }}{2}=\frac{7}{2}\) = cm
Height = 7 cm
∴ Lateral (curved) surface area of cylinder
= 2πrh
= 2 × \(\frac{22}{7} \times \frac{7}{2}\) × 7
= 22 × 7 = 154 cm²

For given cube:
side = 7 cm
Lateral surface area of the cube
= 4l² = 4 × 7²
= 4 × 49 = 196 cm²
Hence, cubical box has a larger area.

7. A closed cylindrical tank of radius 7 m and height 3 m is made from a sheet of metal. How much sheet of metal is required?
Solution:
For given cylindrical tank:
radius (r) = 7 m, height (h) = 3 m
Total surface area of tank
= 2πr (r + h)
= 2 × \(\frac {22}{7}\) × 7(7 + 3)
= 44(10) = 440 m²
Hence, 440 m² sheet of metal is required.

8. The lateral surface area of a hollow cylinder is 4224 cm². It is cut along its height and formed a rectangular sheet of width 33 cm. Find the perimeter of rectangular sheet?
Solution:
Lateral surface area of a hollow cylinder = 4224 cm² (Given)
Let length of a rectangular sheet made from hollow cylinder be l cm.
∴ l × b = 4224
∴ 1 × 33 = 4224
∴ l = \(\frac {4224}{33}\) = 128 cm
∴ Length of rectangular sheet =128 cm

Perimeter of rectangular sheet
= 2 (l + b)
= 2 (128 + 33)
= 2 (161) = 322 cm
Hence, perimeter of rectangular sheet is 322 cm.

9. A road roller takes 750 complete revolutions to move once over to level a road. Find the area of the road levelled if the diameter of a road roller is 84 cm and length is 1 m.
Solution:
Shape of road roller is cylindrical.

For given cylinder:
Radius (r) = \(\frac{\text { diameter }}{2}\) = \(\frac {84}{2}\) = 42cm
length (height) (h) = 1 m = 100 cm
∴ Curved surface area of a roller
= 2 πrh
= 2 × \(\frac {22}{7}\) × 42 × 100
= 26,400 cm²
Roller covers area of 26,400 cm² in 1 revolution.
∴ Area of covered by roller in 750 revolutions
= 26400 × 750 cm²
= \(\frac{26400 \times 750}{100 \times 100}\) m²
= 1980 m²
Hence, area of road levelled is 1980 m².

10. A company packages its milk powder in cylindrical container whose base has a diameter of 14 cm and height 20 cm.

Company places a lable around the surface of the container (as shown in the figure). If the lable is placed 2 cm from top and bottom, what is the area of the label.
Solution:
For given cylindrical container:
radius (r) = \(\frac {diameter}{2}\) = \(\frac {14}{2}\) = 7 cm
height (h) = 20 cm
Now, label is placed 2 cm away from top and bottom.
∴ Height of label = (20 – 2 – 2) cm
= (20 – 4) cm = 16 cm
For label:
radius (r) = 7 cm, height (h) = 16 cm
∴ Area of cylindrical label = 2πrh
= 2 × \(\frac {22}{7}\) × 7 × 16
= 44 × 16
= 704 cm²
Hence, area of the label is 704 cm².

PSEB Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 14 Statistics Ex 14.4

Question 1.
The following distribution gives the daily income of 50 workers of a factory.

Convert the distribution above to a less than type cumulative frequency distribution and draw its ogive.

Solution:

Now, by drawing the points on the graph
i.e. (120, 12); (140, 26); (160, 34); (180, 40); (200, 50).
We get graph of less than type cumulative frequency.

Scale chosen:
On x-axis 10 units = Rs. 10
On y-axis 10 units = 5 workers.

Question 2.
During the medial check up of 35 students of a class, their weights were recorded as follows:

Draw a less than type ogive for the given data. Hence obtain the median weight from the graph and verWy the result by using the formula.
Solution:

Now, By drawing the points on the graph i.e., (38, 0); (40, 3); (42, 5); (44, 9); (46, 14); (48, 28) ; (50, 32) ; (52, 35) we get graph of less than type cumulative frequency.

Scale Chosen:
On x-axis, 10 units = 2 kg
On y-axis units = 5 students

From above graph, it is clear that
Median = 46.5 kg ; which lies in class interval 46 – 48.
Now, in the given table
\(\Sigma f_{i}\) = n = 35

∴ \(\frac{n}{2}=\frac{35}{2}\) = 17.5 ; which lies in the interval 46 – 48.

∴ Median class = 46 – 48
So, l = 46; n = 35; f = 14; cf = 14 and h = 2

Using formula, Median = l + \(\left\{\frac{\frac{n}{2}-c f}{f}\right\}\) × h

Median = 46 + \(\left\{\frac{\frac{35}{2}-14}{14}\right\}\) × 2

= 46 + \(\left\{\frac{\frac{35-28}{2}}{14}\right\}\)

= 46 + \(\frac{7}{2} \times \frac{1}{14}\) = 46 + \(\frac{1}{2}\)

= 46 + 0.5 = 46.5
From above discussion and graph; it is clear that median is same in both cases. Hence, Median weight of students is 46.5 kg.

Question 3.
The following table gives production yield per hectare of wheat of 1(X) farms of a village.

Change the distribution to a more than type distribution, and draw its ogive.

Solution:

Now, by drawing the points on the graph i.e. (50, 100); (55, 98); (60, 90); (65, 78); (70, 54); (75, 16)
we get graph of more than type cumulative frequency.

Scale chosen:
On x-axis 10 units = 5 kg/ha
On y-axis 10 units = 10 forms

PSEB Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 14 Statistics Ex 14.3

Question 1.
The following frequency distribution gives the monthly consumption of electricity of 68 consumers of a locality. Find the median, mean and mode of the data and compare them.

Solution:

Here, \(\Sigma f_{i}\) = 68 then \(\frac{n}{2}=\frac{68}{2}\) = 34
Which lies in interval 125 – 145
Median class = 125 – 145
So, l = 125; n = 68; f = 20; çf = 22 and h = 20

Using formula, Median = l + \(\left[\frac{\frac{n}{2}-c f}{f}\right]\) × h

= 125 + \(\left\{\frac{\frac{68}{2}-22}{20}\right\}\) × 20

=125+ \(\frac{34-22}{20}\) × 20

= 125 + 12 = 137

For mean:

From above data, assumed mean (a) = 135
Width of class (h) = 20
∴ \(\bar{u}=\frac{\Sigma f_{i} u_{i}}{\Sigma f_{i}}=\frac{7}{68}\) = 0.102
Using formula, Mean \((\overline{\mathrm{X}})=a+h \bar{u}\)
\(\overline{\mathrm{X}}\) = 135 + 20 (0.102)
= 135 + 2.04 = 137.04.

For Mode:
In the given data,
Maximum frequency is 20 and it correspond to 125 – 145.
∴ Modal class = 125 – 145
So l = 125; f₁ = 20; f₀ = 13; f₂ = 14and h = 20
Using formula, Mode = l + \(\left(\frac{f_{1}-f_{0}}{2 f_{1}-f_{0}-f_{2}}\right)\) × h

Mode = 125 + \(\left(\frac{20-13}{2(20)-13-14}\right)\) × 20

= 125 + \(\frac{7}{40-27}\) × 20

= 125 + \(\frac{140}{13}\)
= 125 + 10.76923
= 125 + 10.77 = 135.77.
Hence. median, mean and mode of given data is 137 units: 137.04 units and 135.77 units.

Question 2.
If the median of the distribution given below is 28.5, find the values of x and y.

Solution:

In thegiven data, \(\Sigma f_{i}\) = n = 60
∴ \(\frac{n}{2}=\frac{60}{2}\) = 30
Also, median of the distribution = 28.5 ………….(Given)
which lies in the class interval 20 – 30
Median class = 20 – 30
So, l = 20; f = 20; cf = 5 + x; h = 10
From table, it is clear that 45 + x + y = 60
x + y = 60 – 45 = 15
or x + y = 15 ……………….(1)
Now, using formula, Median = l + {\(\left\{\frac{\frac{n}{2}-c f}{f}\right\}\)

28.5 = 2o + \(\left\{\frac{30-(5+x)}{20}\right\}\)

or 28.5 = 20 + \(\frac{30-5-x}{2}\)

or 28.5 = \(\)

or 2(28.5) = 65 – x
or 57.0 = 65 – x
or x = 65 – 57 = 8
∴ x = 8
Substitute this value of x in (1), we get
8 + y = 15
Hence, values of x and y is 8 and 7.

Question 3.
A life insurance agent found the following data for distribution of ages of 100 policy holders. Calculate the median age, if policies are only given to persons having age 18 years onwards but less than 60 years.

Solution:

Here, \(\Sigma f_{i}\) = n = 100
then, \(\frac{n}{2}=\frac{100}{2}\) = 50, which lies in the interval 35 – 40
∴ Median class = 35 – 40
So, l = 35; n = 100; f = 33; cf = 45 and h = 5
Using formula, Median = l + \(\left\{\frac{\frac{n}{2}-c f}{f}\right\}\) × h

= 35 + \(\left\{\frac{\frac{100}{2}-45}{33}\right\}\) × 5

= 35 + \(\frac{50-45}{33}\) × 5

= 35 + \(\frac{25}{33}\)
= 35 + 0.7575 = 35 + 0.76 (approx.) = 35.76
Hence, median age of given data is 35.76 years.

Question 4.
The lengths of 40 leaves of a plant are measured correct to the nearest millimetre, and the data obtained is represented in the following table:

Find the median length of the leaves.
Solution:
Since the frequency distribution is not continuous, so firstly we shall make it continuous.

Here, \(\Sigma f_{i}\) = n = 40
then, \(\frac{n}{2}=\frac{40}{2}\) = 20, which lies in the interval 144.5 – 153.5
∴ Median class = 144.5 – 153.5
So, l = 144.5; f = 12; cf = 17; h = 9
Using formula, Median = l + \(\left\{\frac{\frac{n}{2}-c f}{f}\right\}\) × h

Median = 144.5 + \(\left\{\frac{20-17}{12}\right\}\) × 9

= 144.5 + \(\frac{3 \times 9}{12}\)
= 144.5 + 225 = 146.75
Hence, median length of the leaves is 146.75 mm.

Question 5.
The following table gives the distribution of the life time of 400 neon lamps:

Find the median life time of a lamp.

Solution:

Here, \(\Sigma f_{i}\) = n = 400
∴ \(\frac{n}{2}=\frac{400}{2}\) = 200; which lies in the interval 3000 – 3500.
∴ Median class = 3000 – 3500
So, l = 3000; n = 400; f = 86; cf = 130 and h = 500
Using formula, Median = l + \(\left\{\frac{\frac{n}{2}-c f}{f}\right\}\) × h

Median = 3000 + \(\left\{\frac{\frac{400}{2}-130}{86}\right\}\) × 500

= 3000 + \(\left(\frac{200-130}{86}\right)\) × 500

= 3000 + \(\frac{70 \times 500}{86}\) + 406.9767441

= 3000 + 406.98 (approx.) = 3406.98
Hence, median life time of a lamp is 3406.98 hours.

Question 6.
100 surnames were randomly picked up from a local telephone directory and the frequency distribution of the number of letters in the English alphabets in the surnames was obtained as follows:

Determine the median number of letters in the surnames. Find the mean number of letters in the surnames ? Also, find the modal size of the surnames.
Solution.
For Median:

Here, Here, \(\Sigma f_{i}\) = n = 100
∴ \(\frac{n}{2}=\frac{100}{2}\) = 50, which lies in interval 7 – 10.
∴ Median class = 7 – 10
So, l = 7; n = 100; f = 40; cf = 36 and h = 3
Using formula, Median = l + \(\left\{\frac{\frac{n}{2}-c f}{f}\right\}\) × h

Median = 7 + \(\left\{\frac{\frac{100}{2}-36}{40}\right\}\) × 3

= 7 + \(\left\{\frac{50-36}{40}\right\}\) × 3

= 7 + \(\frac{14 \times 3}{40}\)

= 7 + \(\frac{21}{20}\) = 7 + 1.05 = 8.05
Hence, the median of letters in the surnames is 8.05.

For Mean:

From above data, Assumed Mean (a) = 8.5
Width of class (h) = 3
∴ \(\bar{u}=\frac{\Sigma f_{i} u_{i}}{\Sigma f_{i}}=\bar{u}=\frac{-6}{100}\) = – 0.06

Using formula, Mean \((\overline{\mathrm{X}})=a+h \bar{u}\)
\(\bar{X}\) = 8.5 + 3 (- 0.06) = 8.5 – 0.18 = 8.32
Hence, mean number of letters in the surnames is 8.32.

For Modal:
In the given data Maximum frequency is 44 and it corresponds to interval 7 — 10
∴ Modal class = 7 – 10
So l = 7; f₁ = 40; f₀ = 30; f₂ = 16 and h = 3
Using formula, Mode = l + \(\left(\frac{f_{1}-f_{0}}{2 f_{1}-f_{0}-f_{2}}\right)\) × h

Mode = 7 + \(\left(\frac{40-30}{2(40)-30-16}\right)\) × 3

= 7 + \(\frac{10}{80-46}\) × 3

= 7 + \(\frac{30}{34}\) = 7 + 0.882352941

= 7 + 0.88 (approx.) = 7.88.
Hence. modal size of the surnames is 7.88 letters.

Question 7.
The distribution below gives the weights of 30 students of a class. Find the median weight of the students.

Solution:

Here, \(\Sigma f_{i}\) = n = 30
∴ \(\frac{n}{2}=\frac{30}{2}\) = 15; which lies in the interval 55 – 60.
∴ Median class = 55 – 60
So, l = 55; n = 30; f = 6; cf = 13 and h = 5
Using formula, Median = l + \(\left\{\frac{\frac{n}{2}-c f}{f}\right\}\) × h

Median = 55 + \(\left\{\frac{\frac{30}{2}-13}{6}\right\}\) × 5

= 55 + \(\left\{\frac{15-13}{6}\right\}\) × 5

= 55 + \(\frac{2 \times 5}{6}\)

= 55 + \(\frac{5}{3}\) = 55 + 1.66666
= 55 + 1.67 (approx.) = 56.67
Hence, median weight of the students are 56.67 kg.
