PREFACE

The series "Dynamic Compulsory Mathematics" is completely based on the latest syllabus
developed and prescribed by CDC, Nepal. It is completely based on the contemporary
pedagogical teaching learning activities and methodologies.

This series results from my teaching experiences, training, workshops, seminars, and
suggestions from different experts.

This series is specially prepared to serve as an excellent learning tool for young learners.
The content of the series is arranged according to specific themes to make learning
meaningful and joyful.

I firmly believe that learning is a process, but effective learning is a skill. So, in this series,
I have designed the contents by considering the psychological analysis of children. I have
taken utmost consideration of how future stars should think and assume things and how
positive vibes can be spread into them right from their beginning.

The unique features of this series are:


Live pictures and colorful illustrations.
Arrangement of different activities to meet the same concept.
Arrangement of activities from simple to complex.
Step by step presentation.
Critical thinking question.
Project work and mixed review exercise.
Check your progress
I want to express my sincere gratitude and thankfulness to all the scholars, teachers, and
students whose direct and indirect complements and inspirations encouraged me to give
the solid form of this book. I cannot stay in silence without thanking Sunrise Publications
Pvt. Ltd. to publish this book.
I'm heartily thankful to Mr. Arun Rimal, Creation Graphics, for his skillful design.

Last but not least, constructive thinking and opinions are highly welcome for further
enriching the quality of the text.

SET
Concept of Set
Study the following collection of objects:

It is the collection of five distinct fruits. So, it is a set of fruits.

It is the collection of four distinct vehicles. So, it is a set of vehicles.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
a, e, i, o, u
6, 7, 8, 9
It is the collection of natural It is the collection of English
numbers less than 10. So, it is a vowel letters. So, it is a set of
set of natural numbers less than vowel letters.

Approved by CDC
Set 9

Similarly, can you define the given


collection?
Is it a set ? Why? 5
From the above examples, it is clear that a set is a well-defined collection of
distinct objects.
Set Notation
Generally, sets are denoted by capital letters of English alphabates A, B, C,
D, ........................ Z.
For example:
A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
B = {a, e, i, o, u}
C = {Apple, Mango, Orange, Banana}
D = {Triangle, Square, Circle, Rectangle, Rhombus}

Exercise 1.1
1. Which of the following collections are sets?
a. Collection of numbers less than 5.
b. Collection of flowers.
c. Collection of girls having long hair.
d. Collection of interesting programes on T.V.
e. Collection of brilliant students.
f. Collection of English alphabates.
g. Collection of all the days of a week.
h. Collection of honest members in the family.
i. Collection of teachers in a school.
j. Collection of books of class 6.
Approved by CDC

k. Collection of colours in the rainbow.


l. Collection of planets of the solar system.

2. Describe the following collections:


a. A = {Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday}
b. B = {a, e, i, o, u}
c. C = {2, 4, 6, 8}
d. D = {Ruler, protractor, compass, set-squares, divider}
e. E={ , , , , }

f. g.

h. i.

3. List the elements of each of the following sets inside the curly brackets.
a. Multiples of 3 less than 30.
b. Even numbers between 10 and 20.
c. Odd numbers from 10 to 20.
d. Natural numbers less than 8.
e. Whole numbers less than 6.
f. Factors of 12.
g. SAARC countries.
Approved by CDC
Set 11
h. Provinces of Nepal.
i. The letters of the word 'Mathematics'.
j. Geometrical solid objects.

4. If A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15}, then


a. List the set B of even numbers in A.
b. List of set C of odd numbers in A.
c. List the set D of multiples of 5 in A.
d. List the set E of factors of 8 in A.
e. List the set F of prime numbers in A.
f. List the set G of the number obtained by adding 2 to each element of A.
g. List the set H of the numbers obtained by subtracting 1 from each element
of A.

Membership of a Set
Let us take a set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}.
The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are called the members of the set A.
The members of a set are always listed inside the curly brackets { } separated
by comma ','.
If 1 is the member of the set A, then we write 1ÎA and we read it as '1 belongs
to set A' or '1 is the member of set A'.
In the above set A, 1 Î A, 2 Î A, 3 Î A, 4 Î A and 5 Î A but 6 Ï A, 7ÏA
because 6 and 7 are not the members of the set A.
The symbol Î stands for 'belongs to' and Ï for 'does not belong to'.

The members of a set are also called elements of the set.

Representation of a Set
Sets are usually represented by the following three methods:
i. Listing method or tabular method or roster method.
ii. Description method.
iii. Set builder method.
1. Listing method
In this method, the members of the set are listed within the curly brackets
{ } separating each by a comma.
For example:
A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
B = {a, e, i, o, u}
C = {a, p, l, e}

2. Description method
In this method, the set is described in words without losing the property of
the members.
For example:
If A = {a, e, i, o, u}, then the set A is written in description method as:
A = {vowels letters of English alphabets}
If B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, then
B = {Natural numbers less than 6}
If C = {a, p, l, e}, then
C = {Letters of the word 'apple'.}

3. Set - builder method


In this method, we use a variable x to represent the member of the given set
such that the variable represents the common property of all the members.
For example:
If A = {a, e, i, o, u}, then the set A is written in set-builder method as:
A = {x : x is a vowel letter of English alphabets}
Approved by CDC
Set 13
We read it as 'A is the set of all x such that x is a vowel letter of English
alphabets'.

Remember!!! The notation ':' is read as 'such that'.

Let us take some more examples of sets in different forms:


Listing method Description method Set-builder method

1. A = {2, 4, 6, 8} A = {Set of first four A = {x : x is an even


even numbers} number less than 10}

2. B = {Sunday, Monday, B = {Set of seven days B = {x : x is a day of


Tuesday, Wednesday, of a week} a week}
Thursday, Friday,
Saturday}

Solved Examples
1. Write the following in set notation.
i. 1 belongs to natural number (N).
ii. Baishakh belongs to the set of 12 months (M).
iii. 5 does not belong to the set of even numbers (E).
Solution:
i. 1ÎN
ii. Baishakh Î M
iii. 5 Ï E.

2. If A = {1, 2, 3, 4} then insert the appropriate symbol Î or Ï .


i. 4......A ii. 5.....A
iii. 0......A iv. 3.....A
Solution:
i. 4 Î A ii. 5 Ï A
iii. 0 Ï A iv. 3 Î A

3. Write the following sets in listing method.


i. N = {first 5 odd numbers}
ii. P = {Set of the vowel letters of the word 'Mathematics'}
iii. Q = {x : x is a factor of 12}
iv. M = {x : x is a multiple of 2 less than 10}
v. A = {x : x is odd numbers less than 15}
Solution:
i. N = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}
ii. P = {A, E, I}
iii. Q = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12}
iv. M = {2, 4, 6, 8}
v. Z = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 15}

4. Write the following sets in set-builders method.


i. N = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
ii. W = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}
iii. M = {5, 10, 15, 20, 25}
iv. S = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}
Solution:
i. N = {x : x is a natural number less than 10}
or,
N = {x : x is a natural number less than or equal to 9}
or,
N = {x : x < 10, x Î N}
or,
N = {x : x £ 9, x Î N}
ii. W = {x : x is a whole number less than 5}
Can you write it in another way?
iii. M = {x : x is a first five multiples of 5}
iv. S = {x : x is a first five even numbers}

Simplification with Brackets


Four students, Samrat, Smriti, Anila and Bivek
are given a problem:
20 ÷ 5 × 2 + 10 – 3
They solved the broblems in the following ways.

Samrat Smriti
20 ÷ 5 × 2 + 10 – 3 20 ÷ 5 × 2 + 10 – 3
= 4 × 2 + 10 – 3 = 20 ÷ 10 + 10 – 3
= 8 + 10 – 3 = 20 ÷ 20 – 3
= 18 – 3 =1–3
= 15 = –2

Anila Bivek
20 ÷ 5 × 2 + 10 – 3 20 ÷ 5 × 2 + 10 – 3
= 20 ÷ 10 + 7 = 20 ÷ 5 × 12 – 3
=2+7 = 4 × 12 – 3
=9 =4×9
= 36

Approved by CDC
Real Number 27
Four students solved the problem in four different ways, which one is the
correct way?
Samrat's solution is the correct.
To avoid to many solutions of the same problems, we have to follow a definite
rule.
If a numeral expression contains two or more than two fundamental operations
+, –, × and ÷, we follow the following order of operations.

Division (D) Multiplication (M) Addition (A) Subtraction (S)


÷ × + -

This rule is known as DMAS.

If a problem has two operations + and –, then we can solve it in any order.
For example:
Simplify: 8 – 2 + 6
Solution:

and 24.
Numbers Possible factors
18 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
24 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

The common factors of 18 and 24 are 1, 2, 3 and 6. Among all the common
factors 6 is the highest common factor. So, 6 is called the highest common factor
(H.C.F) of 18 and 24.
Again, Let us take two numbers 15 and 25.
All the possible factors of 15, F(15) = 1, 3, 5, 15
All the possible factors of 25, F(25) = 1, 5, 25
1 and 5 are the common factors of 15 and 25. 5 is the highest common factor
(H.C.F.) of 15 and 25.
Thus, H.C.F. of any two or more than two numbers is the greatest common
factor.
Can you tell ?
The H.C.F. of 5 and 9.

Example 3:
Find the greatest number of students to whom 30 pens and 40 copies can
be equally distributed. Also find the number of pens and copies received
by each.
Solution:
The greatest number of students is the H.C.F. of 30 and 40.
Now,

Among the common multiples, 12 is the lowest common multiple.
\ Lowest Common Multiple (L.C.M.) of 4 and 6 is 12.
Thus, the smallest natural number which is exactly divisible by the given
numbers is known as L.C.M. of the numbers.

Methods of Calculating L.C.M.

Let us find the factors of 8 and 10 by using prime factorization method.

2 8 2 10 \ 8 = 2 × 2 × 2
2 4 5 10 = 2 × 5

Common factors of 8 and 10 = 2
Remaining factors of 8 and 10 = 2 × 2 × 5
\ L.C.M = Common factors × Remaining factors
=2×2×2×5
= 40

Relation between H.C.F. and L.C.M


Let us take two numbers 18 and 24.
18 = 2 × 3 × 3
24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

H.C.F. = 2 × 3 = 6
L.C.M. = 2 × 3 × 3 × 2 × 2 = 72
Now,
Let us multiply both the numbers 8 and 24.
18 × 24 = 432
Let us multiply H.C.F. and L.C.M.
H.C.F. × L.C.M = 6 × 72 = 432
This shows that:

Introduction to Integers
1, 2, 3, 4, .......... are the counting numbers. The counting numbers are called
Natural numbers. The set of Natural numbers including zero (0) is called whole
numbers. So, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ......... are whole numbers. We have studies these numbers
in the earlier chapter. Now, we find that there are negative numbers too. If we put
the whole numbers and the negative numbers together, then the collection 0, 1, 2,
3, 4, .......... , -1, -2, -3, -4, ....... is known as integers.
Remember !!
1, 2, 3, 4, ........ are said to be positive integers and –1, –2, –3, –4, .............
are said to be negative integers

What about zero (0)?


Zero (0) is neither positive integer nor negative integer. It is a neutral number.

Representation of Integers on a Number Line

-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6

Draw a straight line and mark some points at equal distance on it as shown
in the figure above. Mark a point zero (0) on it. Mark the numbers +1, +2, +3, +4,
.......... to the right of zero (0) and –1, –2, –3, –4, ........... to the left of zero (0).
We have to move to the right of zero (0) to show any positive number and to
the left to show any negative number. For example:
To represent +5 on a number line, we have to move 5 points to the right of
zero which is shown in the number line given below.

the surface of water level and 1, 2, 3, 4, above the level 2
1
of water in each step as shown in the figure alongside. 0

After some days, they noticed that the water level


had fallen 4 steps below the zero mark. Now, they started
thinking about marking the steps to note the fall of water
level. Suddenly, they got an idea to distinguish between
the numbers which were above 0 and below 0. They put
'–' sign in front of the numbers. So, they marked one step 5
4
below 0 as –1, two steps below 0 and –2, three steps below 3
2
0 as –3, and so on. 1

So the water level is now at – 4 (4 steps below 0). -2

-4
After two days, the water level again fallen down
by 1 step. They marked it as – 5.
In the above example, we can see that – 5 < – 4 or – 4 > – 5.

percent. Here, the term 'cent' is derived from Latin word
'centum'. The meaning of cent is one-hundredth.
A percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100. Percent means 'per hundred'
or 'out of 100'.
The symbol for percent is %.
We can express the shaded portion of the above grid as:

PROFIT AND LOSS

Cost price (C.P.) Selling price (S.P.)

Price at which the Price at which the


items are bought. items are sold.

Look at the following illustrations:


Manish is a shopkeeper. He bought a bag of Rs. 500 and sold it at Rs. 650.

C.P = Rs. 500 S.P = Rs. 650

On selling the bag, what is his profit?


Profit = Rs. 650 – Rs. 500
= Rs. 150
Thus, a profit is made when the selling price is more than the cost price.
Therefore, profit is the difference between the selling price (S.P.) and the cost price
(C.P.)
\ Profit = S.P. – C.P.

Profit and Loss 108
Ramesh is a shopkeeper. He bought a mobile set for Rs. 10,000 and sold it
at Rs. 9,800.

c.p = Rs. 10,000 s.p = Rs. 9,800

On selling the mobile set, what is his loss?


Loss = Rs. 10,000 – Rs. 9,800
= Rs. 200
Thus, a loss is made when the selling price is less than the cost price.
Therefore, loss is the difference between the cost price (C.P.) and the selling
price (S.P.).
\ Loss = C.P. - S.P.
Formulae of profit and loss
If S.P. > C.P. If S.P. < C.P.
1. Profit = S.P. - C.P. 1. Loss = C.P. - S.P.
2. C.P. = S.P. - Profit 2. C.P. = S.P. + Loss
3. S.P. = C.P. + Profit 3. S.P. = C.P. - Loss

Solved Examples
1. Find the profit or loss.
a. C.P. = Rs. 800 and S.P. = Rs. 900
b. C.P. = Rs. 1250 and S.P. = Rs. 1135
Solution:
a. Here, S.P. > C.P. So, there is a profit.
We know that,
Profit = S.P. – C.P. = Rs. 900 – Rs. 800 = Rs. 100
\ Profit = Rs. 100
Approved by CDC

b. Here, S.P. < C.P. So, there is a loss.


We know that,
Loss = C.P. – S.P.
= Rs. 1250 – Rs. 1135 = Rs. 115
\ Loss = Rs. 115

2. A shopkeeper purchased a watch at Rs. 2500 and sold it at Rs. 2350. Find
the profit or loss.
Solution:
Here, cost price (C.P.) = Rs. 2500
Selling price (S.P.) = Rs. 2350
S.P. < C.P. So, there is a loss.
We know that,
Loss = C.P. – S.P.
= Rs. 2500 – Rs. 2350 = Rs. 150
\ Loss = Rs. 150

3. Find the C.P. in each of the following cases:


a. S.P. = Rs. 1345, and profit = Rs. 350
b. S.P. = Rs. 2800, and loss = Rs. 200
Solution:
a. Here, S.P. = Rs. 1345 b. Here, S.P. = Rs. 2800

Profit = Rs. 350 Loss = Rs. 200

C.P. = ? C.P. = ?

We know that, We know that,

C.P. = S.P. – Profit C.P. = S.P. + loss


= Rs. 1345 – Rs. 350 = Rs. 2800 + Rs. 200

UNITARY METHOD

Ukrit wants to by 5 pencils of cost Rs. 10 each. How much money is needed
to by 5 such pencils?
Cost of 1 pencil = Rs. 10

Cost of 2 pencils = Rs. 10 + Rs. 10


= 2 × Rs. 10
= Rs. 20

Cost of 3 pencils = Rs. 10 + Rs. 10 + Rs. 10


= 3 × Rs. 10
= Rs. 30

Cost of 4 pencils = Rs. 10 + Rs. 10 + Rs. 10 + Rs. 10


= 4 × Rs. 10
= Rs. 40

Cost of 5 pencils = Rs. 10 + Rs. 10 + Rs. 10 + Rs. 10 + Rs. 10

Area of Irregular Shapes

Irregular shapes are the closed geometrical shapes.


Look at the following examples of irregular shapes:

Approved by CDC
Perimeter, Area and Volume 139
It is not easy to calculate the exact area of irregular shapes because they may
not fit exactly on the square grid. There may be some half filled squares, some
more than half filled squares or some less than half filled squares. In such situation,
we follow the following rules:
1
i. We count a full square = 1 sq. unit.
ii. More than half square = 1 sq. unit. 1
1 1
iii. A half square = 2 sq. unit. 2

iv. Less than half square = 0 sq. unit 0

By using the above rules, let us find the area of the given irregular shape.
In the figure alongside,
We can see that:
- 7 fully filled squares.
- 9 more than half filled squares.
- 2 half filled squares.
- 6 less than half filled squares.

Covered area No. of squares Area (sq. units)


Fully filled 7 7×1=7
More than half filled 9 9×1=9
Half filled 2 2 × 12 = 1
Less than half filled 6 6×0=0

\ Total area = 7 + 9 + 1 + 0

Student's Learning Outcomes
After completing this chapter, students will be able to:
Recognize the index notation.
Write a number as a power of another number.
Expand a number and write it's value.

Let us study the following illustration:


Each of 5 students was given 3 pens.

Ankit Nirmal Sajan Simran Bina


Total pens = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3
= 15 pens
Here, addition is the operation that is carried out repeatedly.
Addition of the same number again and again is a long and tidius process. So,
we can show it as a multiplication.
Total pens = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3
= 5 × 3 = 15 pens
Now, let us see how the multiplication of a number by itself several times is
expressed in short.
3×3×3×3×3=?
Here, 3 is multiplied by itself 5 times. This is written as 35 in short.
Approved by CDC
Indices 159
5 Index or exponent
i.e. 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 3
Base
Here, 3 is called the base and 5, the index or exponent
35 is read as '3 raised to the power 5' or '3 raised to 5' or 'the 5th power of 3'.

Let us see some more examples:


2 × 2 = 22 5 × 5 = 52
2 × 2 × 2 = 23 5 × 5 × 5 = 53
2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 24 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 = 54
2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 25 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 = 55
...................................... ......................................

a × a = a2 x × x = x2
a × a × a = a3 x × x × x = x3
a × a × a × a = a4 x × x × x × x = x4
a × a × a × a × a = a5 x × x × x × x × x = x5
...................................... ......................................

Remember!!
The 1st power of any number is that the number itself.
i.e. 51 = 5, 31 = 3, x1 = x etc.

Index Form
Any number is multiplied by itself several times can be written in index form.
i.e.,
7 × 7 × 7 × 7 × 7 can a × a × a can be (–x) × (–x) × (–x) × (–x)
be written as 75. written as a3. can be written as (–x)4.
Here, 75 is in the index Here, a3 is in the index Here (–x) 4 is in the
form. form. index form.

Value of the Index


Any number in the index form can be written in pure number.

34 can be written as 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 81. 25 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 32.


Here, 81 is the value of 34. Here, 32 is the value of 25.

Can you find the value of 23 ?


Can you find the value of 34 ?

Leat us Read Square and cube

52 = 5 × 5 = 25 23 = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8
52 is read as '5 raised to 2' or '5 squared' 23 is read as '2 cubed' or 'the cube of
or 'the square of 5' 2'.

Remember !!
The 2nd power of any number is the square of that number.
The 3rd power of any number is the cube of that number.

ii. y represents the number of districts of Nepal.
iii. z represents the number greater than 5 and less than 10.
iv. w represents the even numbers.

In the above example (i), the value of x is always 3.


\ x is a constant.

In example (ii), the value of y is 77. It is fix value.


\ y is a constant.

In example (iii), the values of z are 6, 7, 8 and 9.


Here, z can have any of the values 6, 7, 8 or 9.
\ z is a variable.

In example (iv), the values of w are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ......... etc.


Here, w can have any of the values 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ...... etc.

Solution:
Subtraction by horizontal arrangement.
a. (7a + 5b) – (5a + 2b) c. (5x2 – 5x – 8) – (3x2 – 4x + 1)
= 7a + 5b – 5a – 2b = 5x2 – 5x – 8 – 3x2 + 4x – 1
= 7a – 5a + 5b – 2b = 5x2 – 3x2 – 5x + 4x – 8 – 1
= (7 – 5)a + (5 – 2)b = (5 – 3)x2 – (5 – 4)x – (8 + 1)
= 2a + 3b = 2x2 – 1x – 9
b. (4x2 + 7x + 9) – (x2 + 5x + 2) = 2x2 – x – 9
= 4x2 + 7x + 9 – x2 – 5x – 2
= 4x2 – x2 + 7x – 5x + 9 – 2
= (4 – 1)x2 + (7 – 5)x + (9 – 2)
= 3x2 + 2x + 7

Chapter EQUATION, INEQUALITY AND GRAPH
Mathematical Statements
+, –, ×, ÷ and = are the fundamental signs in mathematics. Any sentence
involving these signs is a mathematical statement. For examples:
i. 2 + 3 = 5 ii. 3 × 5 = 15
iii. 8 – 6 = 1 iv. 2 × 4 = 7
The mathematical statements given in examples (i) and (ii) are true statements.
The mathematical statements given in examples (iii) and (iv) are false statements.

A mathematical statement can be either true or false.

What about it?


x+5=7
If the value of x is 2, then it is true.
If the value of x is other than 2, then it is false.
Thus, the statement x + 5 = 7 is true for some values and false for some other
values. This type of statement is called open statement.

A statement which is true for some values and false for some other values
is called open statement.

A mathematical open statement containing the sign of equality (=) is called


an equation.
The open statement x+2 = 9 becomes true if the value of x is only 7. Therefore,
x = 7 is called the solution of the equation x + 2 = 9.

The value of the variable which makes the open statement true is called the
solution of the given equation.

Equality Axioms

Look at the following illustration:


i. The weight of both the sides of the pan balance 2+4+3 6+3
is 9 units.
i.e., (2 + 4 + 3) units = (6 + 3) units

ii. Take 3 units away from each pan. The


2+4 6
remaining units of weight on both the pans are
(2 + 4 + 3 – 3) units = (6 + 3 + 3) units
i.e., 6 units = 6 units

iii. Add 5 units on each pan. The total units of 2+4+6 6+6
weights on both pans are
(2 + 4 + 6) units = (6 + 6) units
i.e., 12 units = 12 units

12×2 12×2
iv. Multiply the weights of both pans by 2. The
total units of weights on both pans are
(12 × 2) units = (12 × 2) units
i.e., 24 units = 24

v. Divide the weights of both pans by 6. The total 24 24


units of weights on both pans are 6 6

Introduction
Geometry is an important branch of mathematics which deals with the study
of points, lines, surfaces and solids. The word 'geometry' is derived from Greek
words 'geo' and 'metron' where 'geo' means earth and 'metron' means measurement.
Thus, geometry was developed in the need of measurement of earth (land).

Line Segment
A line segment is one of the basic term in geometry which helps us to construct
geometrical figures of different shapes and sizes.
A line segment is a part of a line which has two distinct end points.

a. hour hand and minute hand?
b. two edges of the set-sequare?
c. thumb and forefinger?

When we measure each of them, than we get 90°.


The lines are said to be perpendicular to each other, if they always form an
angle of 90° at the point of intersection.

Do you Agree?
Perpendicular lines are also intersecting lines.

Euler's Formula
Euler a swiss mathematician (1707 A.D. - 1783 A.D.) has established a relation
between the faces, vertices and edges of the geometric solids such as prisms,
pyramid, etc. This relation is known as Euler's Formula.
This formula is (V + F) - E = 2
Let's verify the Euler's formula from the above solids.
Solid - cube
No. of faces (F) = 6, No. of vertices (V) = 8, No. of Edges (E) = 12
Euler's formula: (V + F) – E = 2
or, (8 + 6) – 12 = 2
or, 14 – 12 = 2
\2=2
Example
A solid object has 6 faces and 12 edges. Find the number of vertices.
Solution:
Here, Number of faces (F) = 6
Number of edges (E) = 12
Number of vertices (V) = ?
We know that, (V + F) – E = 2
or, (V + 6) – 12 = 2
or, V – 6 = 2
or, V = 2 + 6

CO-ORDINATES
Introduction
Co-ordinate geometry is the branch of geometry in which pair of numbers are
used to indicate the position of a point on a flat surface (plane). The co-ordinate
system was introduced by a famous French mathematician Rene Descartes. Descartes
combined algebra with geometry using the numbers (co-ordinates) and created a
new branch of geometry which is known as co-ordinate geometry.

Rectangular Co-ordinate Axes on a Plane Surface


The two number lines which intersect each other at a right angle at a fixed
point O are called co-ordinate axes. The co-ordinate axes divide the plane surface
into four equal parts and each part is called quadrant.

Co-ordinates 263
In the adjoining figure, the two number lines XOX 1 and YOY 1 meet
perpendicularly at O, dividing the plane into four equal parts.
Here XOX1 (the horizontal line) is called x-axis and YOY1 (the vertical line)
is called y-axis. The intersecting point of XOX1 and YOY1 is O which is known as
origin.
The region
– XOY is called the first quadrant.
– X1OY is called the second quadrant.
– X1OY1 is called the third quadrant.
– XOY1 is called the fourth quadrant.

Co-ordinates (Order Pairs)


Let us take a point A as shown in the figure
Y
alongside. AM is drawn perpendicular to X-axis.
Measuring OM and MA, we get OM = 4 units and MA 5
4
= 3 units. This means, if we start from O and go along N 3 A

x-axis to the right by 4 units and then upward by 3 2


1
units, we reach the point A. So the ordered pair (4, 3) X'
M
X
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5
determines the position of A. Thus, we can say the co- -1
-2
ordinates of A are (4, 3). The first co-ordinate 4 is -3

called x-coordinate, the x co-ordinate is also known -4


-5
as abscissa and the second coordinate 3 is called y- Y'
coordinate, the y co-ordinate is also known as ordinate.
The co-ordinates of the origin is always (0, 0). Any
point on x-axis has the co-ordinates (x, 0) and any
point on y-axis has the co-ordinates (0, y). Y

Each point of the plane can be represented by


means of ordered pair with different signs. The sign (-, +) (+, +)
X' X
of the co-ordinate depends upon the quadrant. The (-, -) (+, -)
signs of the point in the first quadrant are (+, +). In
second, third and fourth quadrants, the signs of points Y'

are (-, +), (-, -) and (+, -) respectively.

Symmetry and Tessellation

Symmetry
Symmetric figures
The word symmetry has been derived from a Greek word 'symmetria' which
means measured together. If we measure something and find it is same on the both
sides on the line drawn on it's centre, then we say the figures are symmetrical. The
line is called line of symmetry.
Look at the following figures

Thus, if any figure that can be divided into two identical parts, then the divided
parts are called symmetric figures.
Lines of Symmetry
The line which divides the given figure into two identical parts is known as
line of symmetry or axis of symmetry.

Tessellation from Rectangle and Square


You might have observed the patterns of some geometric shapes on the tiles
and marbles used to cover the floor and walls of big halls and buildings. There we
find the same patterns repeated and shapes are engraved on the marbles without
leaving any gaps. This is the example of Tessellation.
A tessellation is a covering of the geometric plane with congruent figures
repeatedly in patterns without leaving any gaps. In tessellation, often the polygonal
shapes such as equilateral triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon, etc. are used.

Introduction
A set of numerical values which are collected for the purpose of investigation
is called data. Marks obtained in an examination, heights, weights etc are the
examples of data.
The family size of 25 different families are given below:
3, 5, 4, 3, 6, 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 8, 4, 3,
4, 6, 5, 4, 7, 6, 4, 3, 5, 6, 8, 4
The above data are fresh and original data. They are called raw data. In the
above data, it is difficult to say how many families have 3 members, how many
have 4 members and so on. To overcome this difficulty, we arrange the data in a
table using tally marks and frequency called the frequency table.

Tally Marks
Before numbers were invented, people found it difficult to keep the records
of their belongings and hence they used to do counting by sticks. Later, these sticks
are known as tally marks.
Counting tally marks
Let us understand how to use tally marks for counting 1 to 10 numbers.

Frequency
The number of times that a certain observation (number) occurs in the data
is called frequency of that observation. it is generally denoted by f.
For example:
A observation 5 repeats 3 times means the frequency of observation 5 is 3.
Consider the following data:
1, 3, 5, 2, 3, 1, 5, 2, 3, 3, 1, 2
In this data 1 repeats 3 times. So, the frequency of 1 is 3. Similarly, 2 repeats
3 times, so it's frequency is also 3. 3 repeats 4 times and 5 repeats 2 times. So, the
frequency of 3 is 4 and 5 is 2.

Construction of Frequency Table


Example 1:
The family size of 25 students is given below. Construct a frequency table
from the data:
3, 5, 4, 3, 6, 5, 3, 4, 5, 3, 8, 4, 3, 4, 6, 5, 4, 7, 6, 4, 3, 5, 6, 8, 4

Approved by CDC
Statistics 279
Follow the following steps:

1. In the first column, write all the possible values of the variable from
smallest to largest under the suitable topic..

2. In the second column, put a vertical bar | called Tally bars or Tally marks
against the value of a variable to which it is related.

If the particular variable is only one, write one bar |. If the variable repeats
2 times, write two bars ||. If the variable repeats 3 times, write three bars
|||. If the variable repeats 4 times, write four bars ||||. If the variable repeats
5 times, write five bars ||||. If the variable repeats 6 times, write six bars
|||| | and so on.

3. Count the number of tally bars or tally marks and write the number in
third column under the topic ‘frequency’.

4. In fourth column, construct cumulative frequency (c. f.)
