 Case Study Based Questions

13. Case Study 1 - Females’ Literacy: The education of women helps to remove the social
stigma that surrounds it. It is the key to eliminating social evils such as female
infanticide, dowry, child marriage, harassment, etc. This will not just help the women
of today but of the future generations who can live in a world where gender equality
exists which ultimately raises the literacy rate. The following distribution shows the
number of literate females in the age group 0 to 60 years of a particular area
[4 Marks]

Age (in 0-10 10-20 20-30 30-40 40-50 50-60

years)

No. of 350 1100 900 750 600 500

literate
females

1. The number of literate females whose ages are between 20 years and 50 years is
2. The upper limit of modal class is

14. Case Study 2 - A satellite flying at a height h is watching the top of the two tallest
mountains in Uttarakhand and Karnataka, they are Nanda Devi (height 7,816 m) and
Mullayanagiri (height 1,930 m). The angles of depression from the satellite, to the top
of Nanda Devi and Mullayanagiri are 30° and 60° respectively. If the distance between
the peaks of two mountains is 1937 km, and the satellite is vertically above the
midpoint of the distance between the two mountains. [4 Marks]
1. The distance of the satellite from the top of Nanda Devi is
2. The distance of the satellite from the ground is
