Read the Passage and answer the questions Q. No. 186 to Q. No. 190
The alarming degradation of ecosystems demands urgent attention. The current

environmental crisis, including the ongoing loss of biodiversity and exploitation of natural
resources, exacerbates the vulnerability of our planet. The need to restore and preserve
ecosystems has never been more critical.
The ongoing climate crisis is closely linked to the depletion of natural areas and species loss.
A significant contributor to this crisis is the relentless exploitation of coastal and marine
ecosystems, deforestation, and unsustainable land-use practices. To address this global
challenge, active participation in the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration is imperative. This
40
ten-year initiative is not just an environmental endeavour; it is a pathway to eradicating
poverty, mitigating climate change impacts, and preserving biodiversity.
India must play a proactive role in this global effort. The restoration of ecosystems offers a
multi-faceted solution. It provides an opportunity to enhance livelihoods, combat climate
change by restoring natural carbon stores, and create habitats for wildlife, thereby preventing
the collapse of biodiversity. A sustainable future for India requires a fundamental shift in how
we approach agriculture, forestry, and land management. The focus should be on cultivating
food systems that harmonize with nature.
Empowering small-scale farmers and women in agriculture is integral to achieving these
goals. Beyond that, challenging societal norms and business practices that contribute to
environmental degradation is essential. Capacity building and education are powerful tools to
instigate these changes.
On a global scale, there is an urgent need to reduce net carbon dioxide emissions by 45% by
2030. Achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 is crucial to meeting the Paris Agreement's target
of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. India must lead the charge in transforming
energy systems, land use, agriculture, forest protection, urban development, infrastructure,
and lifestyles to contribute significantly to these global efforts.
186. The degradation of ecosystems is directly linked to:
A. A decrease in healthcare facilities.

B. A decrease in natural spaces.
C. Exploitation of natural habitat.
D. Healthier ecosystems.
187. The primary goal of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration is:
A. Eradicating poverty through industrialization.

B. Focusing on space exploration.
C. Enhancing livelihoods and combating climate change.
D. Ignoring the environmental crisis.
188. The recommended changes for ecological balance include:
A. Exploiting coastal, marine life, and soil erosion.

B. Upholding progress unmindful of the damage to the environs.
C. The way we farm our lands without causing damage to ecosystems.
D. Ignoring the impact of human activities on the environment.
189. Climate change is:
A. Highly warranted.
B. In the interest of wildlife.
C. Detrimental to human and natural resources.
D. A natural progression that one cannot stop.
41
190. Achieving the goal of reducing net carbon dioxide emissions by 45% by 2030 requires
substantial transformations in
A. Space exploration technologies.

B. Agricultural practices.
C. Ignoring global environmental agreements.
D. Exploitation of marine life.
Growing up in a small town nestled between rolling hills and meandering streams, my
childhood was a canvas painted with simplicity and charm. The local community was tight-
knit, and life moved at a leisurely pace, much like the gentle breeze that rustled through the
ancient oak trees. Our days were filled with adventures along dirt roads, picking wildflowers
in the meadows, and creating memories that would last a lifetime.
As I reflect on those formative years, it becomes evident that the quaint town shaped my
values and perspective on life. The sense of belonging and shared experiences within the
community fostered a deep appreciation for connection and relationships. Each person had a
role to play, from the bustling town square to the cosy corner diner where locals gathered for
hearty conversations over steaming mugs of coffee.
Despite the simplicity, challenges were not absent. Economic shifts and changing times
brought transformations to our small haven. The once-familiar landscape evolved, and the
close-knit community faced the need to adapt. The echoes of those changes, both poignant
and hopeful, left an indelible mark on my understanding of resilience and the inevitability of
transformation.

to the narrative — "to paint the town red." The author used this vibrant phrase to describe the

showcased the author's mastery in crafting a narrative that resonated beyond the pages of
the book.

Solutions
1.
Option D is the right answer. From both I and II, we find that Priya is (40 - 30) = 10 years older
than her sister, who was born in 1970. So, Priya was born in 1960.
2.
From I, we conclude that the weight of each chair = (4 × 6) kg = 24 kg.
So, the total weight of 8 chairs = (24 × 8) kg = 192 kg.
From II, we conclude that:
The weight of each chair = (weight of 4 chairs) - (weight of 3 chairs) = 15 kg.
So, the total weight of 8 chairs = (15 × 8) kg = 120 kg.
Therefore, neither I nor II alone is sufficient to determine the total weight of 8 chairs.
3.
The correct option is D. Neither I nor II is sufficient to determine the number of children A has.
4.
The correct option is A. I alone is sufficient to determine the total sale of the store, which is
Rs. (6000 x 30) = Rs. 180,000.
5.
The correct option is D. Both I and II are sufficient to determine that Mia read (400 - (400 ×
3/4) - 50) i.e., 50 pages on Saturday.
6.
The correct option is D. Neither I nor II is sufficient to determine how many students play
basketball in the class. Because it is not mentioned in the question about the number of boys
who play basketball.
7.
The correct option is D. Both I and II are sufficient to determine that Arjun's age is 12 years.
Explanation:
As given in I and II, we have: A = R = K, R + K + A = 36, and A = R + K.
Putting R + K = A in R + K + A = 36, we have: 2A = 36 or A = 18.
Thus, R + K = 18, and since A = R = K, each of them is 6 years old. Therefore, Arjun's age is 12
years.
8.
The correct option is D. Neither I nor II is sufficient to determine the amount of money Alok
and Rohini have together.
46
Explanation:
From I, we have: R = H - 25.
From II, we have: A = H + 40.
Thus, from both I and II, we have: A + R = (H + 40) + (H - 25) = (2H + 15).
So, to get the required amount, we need to know the amount that Rahul (H) has, which is not
provided in the statements.
9.
The correct option is D. Neither I nor II is sufficient to determine who came last for the
program.
Explanation:
From I, we have the order: N, P, T.
From II, we have the order: T, K, R.
Combining the above two, we get the order: N, P, T, K, R.
Thus, we cannot determine who came last for the program as the order is not fully determined.
10.
The correct option is D. Neither I nor II is sufficient to determine who is the lightest among X,
Y, Z, W, and V.
Explanation:
From I, we have: Z > Y, Z > V, W > Z. Thus, we have W > Z > Y > V.
From II, W is not the heaviest. So, X is the heaviest. Thus, we have: X > W > Z > Y > V.
Therefore, we cannot determine who is the lightest among X, Y, Z, W, and V, as the order is
not fully determined.
11.
The correct option is D. Neither I nor II is sufficient to determine the shortest distance
between Aville and Bville.
Explanation:
From I, we have: Bville is 25 kms away from Ctown.
From II, we have: Aville is 18 kms away from Ctown.
However, we do not have information about the relative positions of Aville, Bville, and Ctown,
so we cannot determine the shortest distance between Aville and Bville.
12.
The correct option is A. I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient to determine who
among Arjun, Rahul, Varun, and Karan is the heaviest.
Explanation:
From I, we have: R > A, R > K, V > R.
Thus, V > R > A > K or V > R > K > A. So, Varun is the heaviest.
From II, we have: R > A, V > A, A > K.
Thus, V > R > A > K or R > V > A > K. So, either Varun or Rahul is the heaviest.
13.
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Statement A is simply an interpretation of the information provided in the question.
47
However, Neha's income can be determined from Statement B as follows: Let Neha's and
Arjun's incomes be 5y and 2y respectively. Then, 2y = 4800 or y = 2400. Therefore, Neha's
income = 5y = Rs. 12000. Hence only B is required.
14.
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Statement A is insufficient as it provides a range of possibilities for Rahul's rank without a
specific position.
However, Statement B alone is also insufficient, as it only gives information about Akash's
rank and doesn't provide any direct information about Rahul.
Therefore, neither statement alone is sufficient to determine Rahul's rank.
15.
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
As given in both statements A and B, P studies in school Z, and K studies in school M. So, S
does not study in school Z or school M. Thus, S studies in any one of the schools X, Y, or W.
However, we cannot determine the specific school where S studies. Therefore, neither
statement alone is sufficient to determine the school where S studies.
16.
Answer: Option E
Explanation:
Clearly, the birthday of Aryan's father can be found out from Statement B, and then Aryan's
birthday can be determined using the fact given in Statement A. Therefore, both statements
together are sufficient to determine the day in May on which Aryan's birthday falls.
17.
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
In both statements A and B, the common word is 'go', and the common code word is 'ka'. So,
'ka' is the code for 'go'. Therefore, both statements together are sufficient to determine the
code for 'go' in the given code language.
18.
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
From Statement A, we conclude that since none of G and J is the heaviest and each one of H,
K, and L is lighter than both G and J, so I is the heaviest. Therefore, Statement A alone is
sufficient to determine who is the heaviest.
19.
Answer: Option D
48
Explanation:
In Statement A and B, the common words are 'for' and 'me', and the common code numbers
are '2' and '5'. So, the code for 'fire' is either '2' or '5'. However, there is no unique code for
'fire' that can be determined from either statement alone. Therefore, neither statement alone
is sufficient to determine the code for 'fire'.
20.
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
From Statement A, we know that each invitation allows the invitee to bring up to five guests.
From Statement B, we know that 150 invitations were sent out.
However, we cannot determine the exact number of guests who attended the party since it
depends on how many guests each invitee brings. Therefore, neither statement alone is
sufficient to determine the number of guests.
21.

Given: The ratio of expenditure to savings of a woman is 5 : 1. Her income and expenditure
are increased by 10% and 20%, respectively.
Let the initial expenditure and savings be 500 units and 100 units respectively.
So, the initial income = 500 + 100 = 600 units
After her income and expenditure are increased by 10% and 20%, respectively
The new income = 600 × (110/100) = 660 units
and the new expenditure = 500 × (120/100) = 600 units
So, the new savings = 660 – 600 = 60 units
Therefore, the percentage change in her savings = (100 - 60)/100 × 100 = 40%
Hence, the correct answer is 40%.
90.
Let the length and breadth be l and b
Original area = lb
Length after 8% increase = 1.08l
Breadth after 5% increase = 1.05b

Let money invested by A and B be 5x and 6x
Total money invested by A in the first 4 months = 5x × 4 = 20x
Total money invested by B in the first 4 months = 6x × 4 = 24x
After 4 months, money invested by A = 5x × 4/5 = 4x
After 4 months, money invested by B = 6x × (1 + 100/300) = 6x × 4/3 = 8x
Total money invested by A in the last 8 months = 4x × 8 = 32x
Total money invested by B in the last 8 months = 8x × 8 = 64x
Total money invested by A in a year = 20x + 32x = 52x
Total money invested by B in a year = 24x + 64x = 88x
Ratio of money invested by A and B = 52x : 88x = 13 : 22

The rate at which the inlet pipe can fill the tank is 1 tank per 3.6 hours, or 1/3.6 tanks per hour.
The rate at which the outlet pipe can drain the tank is 1 tank per 6.3 hours, or 1/6.3 tanks per
hour.
When both pipes are opened simultaneously, the net rate of filling the tank is the rate of the
inlet pipe minus the rate of the outlet pipe.
Net rate = 1/3.6 - 1/6.3
Time = 1/Net rate
Time = 1/(1/3.6 - 1/6.3)
Time = 1/(5/18 - 10/63) = 1/(5/42) = 42/5
Time = 8.4
Hence, the correct answer is 8.4.

Speed of Bus A = 48 km/hr = 48×5/18 = 40/3 m/s

Speed of bus B = 36 km/h = 36×5/18 = 10 m/s
Distance covered by bus A in 15 sec
⇒ Distance = 40/3 × 15 = 200 m
Distance covered by bus B in 15 sec
⇒ Distance = 10 × 15 = 150 m
As the two roads are at a right angle, so
⇒ Let Base = 200 m and Height = 150 m
Here, Hypotenuse = Distance between two buses
By Pythagoras theorem
Hypotenuse2 = Base2 + Height2
⇒ Hypotenuse2 = 2002 + 1502 = 40000 + 22500 = 62500
⇒ Hypotenuse = √62500 = 250 m
Hence, the distance between the two buses is 250 m.

Therefore, r = 0.7 cm
Diameter = 2 × r = 2 × 0.7 = 1.4 cm
Hence, the diameter of the sphere is 1.4
107.
The curved surface area of a hemisphere = 2πr2
The total surface area of a hemisphere = 3πr2
⇒ 41.58 = 3πr2
⇒ 3πr2 × (2/3) = 41.58 × (2/3)
Therefore, 2πr2 = 27.72 sq. cm.
Hence, the answer is 27.72 sq. cm.
108.
Let the radius of the first sphere be r and the radius of the second sphere be R.
2r = 2R × 2
⇒ R = r/2
The curved surface area of the first sphere = 4πr2
The volume of the second sphere = (4/3)πR3
4πr2 = (4/3)πR3
⇒ r2 = (1/3) (r/2)3
⇒ r2 = r3/4
Therefore, r = 24 cm
Hence, the radius of the first sphere is 24

n(H ∪ E) = n(H) + n(E) - n(H ∩ E)
100 = 65 + 55 - n(H ∩ E)
n(H ∩ E) = 120 - 100 = 20
So, number of people who can speak both language is 20.
113.
Let M denote the set of teachers who teach mathematics and P denote the set of teachers
who teach physics
In the statement of the problem, the word ‘or’ gives us a clue of union and the word ‘and’
gives us a clue of intersection. We, therefore, have
n(M ∪ P) = 40 , n(M) = 24 and n(M ∩P) = 8
and we have to find n(P).
from the concept
n(M ∪ P) = n(M) + n (P) – n(M ∩ P),
40 = 24 + n(P) - 8
n(P) = 40 - 16 = 24

= 9x - 9y
70
=9(x - y)
= 9 x 7 = 63
117.
(1, 4) is the point of intersection of the lines 2x + by = 6 and 3y = 8 + ax,
(1, 4) is the solution of both the equation
a+b=5
118.
Given, a + b = 11 and ab = 35
Consider, a + b = 11
Squaring both sides, we get,
⇒ (a + b)2 = 112
⇒ a2 + b2 + 2ab = 121
⇒ a2 + b2 + 2(35) = 121
⇒ a2 + b2 + 70 = 121
⇒ a2 + b2 = 51
Squaring both sides,
⇒ (a2 + b2)2 = 512
⇒ a4 + b4 + 2(35)2 = 2601
⇒ a4 + b4 + 2 × 1225 = 2601
⇒ a4 + b4 + 2450 = 2601
⇒ a4 + b4 = 2601 - 2450
⇒ a4 + b4 = 151
119.
Given: The average of 100 items is 30.
Sum of all items = 100 × 30 = 3000
A wrong entry of 32 and 12 instead of 23 and 11 is also included.
The difference made by the wrong entry of 32 and 12 instead of 23 and 11 = (32 + 12) – (23
+ 11) = 10
So, the actual sum = (3000 – 10) = 2990
Average value = Sum of observations / Total no. of observations
So, the average of the items = 2990 / 100 = 29.90
Hence, the correct answer is 29.90.
120.
Given that Four numbers are in AP.
Let a - 3d, a - d, a + d, a + 3d be the four numbers which are in AP.
71
Also, it is given that, are in GP.
i.e. a - 3d, 2a, a + 3d are in GP.
Since, a - 3d, 2a, a + 3d are in GP.
So, (2a)2 = (a - 3d) x (a + 3d) = a2 - 9d2
We need to find the ratio of the product of the first and fourth term of AP to the product of the
second and third term of AP
i.e.
121.
We have to find 9+99+999+9999+... up to 10 terms.
we can write this series in this form
Now observe that 10, 100, 1000, 10000 .... are in GP with a common ratio 10.
So,
Now,
122.
Harmonic Progression -
General term of a Harmonic Progression
The nth term or general term of a H.P. is the reciprocal of the nth term of the corresponding
A.P. Thus, if is an H.P. and the common difference of corresponding A.P.
is d, i.e. , then the general term or nth term of an H.P. is given by
Or we can say that the nth term of an H.P. is the reciprocal of nth term of corresponding A.P.
If 2, 4, 6, 8, .... are in AP then, are in HP.
72
Consider 1/6, /14, 1/3, ...
Here T2 – T1 = T3 – T2 = 1/12
Therefore 1/6, 1/4, 1/3 is in A.P.
4th term of this Arithmetic Progression = 1/6 + 3 × 1/12 = 1/6 + 1/4 = 5/12,
Hence, 4th term of HP is 12/5
123.
Sum of n terms of a GP -
We will now find how to sum an arbitrary GP. Consider the sum of the first n terms of a GP
with first term a and common ratio r:
Let Sn be the sum of n terms of the G.P.
Multiply both sides by r, and write the terms with the same power of r below each other, as
shown below:
Now, subtract the first equation from the second equation:
The above formula does not hold for r = 1, For r = 1 the sum of n terms of the G.P. is
.:
Let us take an example. Consider the following GP:
We have a = 1, and r = 2. Now, let us find the sum of the first 11 terms of this GP. We have:
If ratio of the given GP is less than 1, we use .
Let the required number of terms be n.

Here, a = 2, r = 2 and Sn = 510
Hence, the required number of terms is 8
73
124.
Geometric progression -
A geometric progression is one in which any term divided by the previous term is a constant.
This constant is called the common ratio of the sequence. The common ratio can be found
by dividing any term in the sequence by the previous term.
Consider the following progression:
Each term in this progression is twice the previous term. In other words, the ratio of every term
to the previous term is fixed, and equal to 2.
In the series above, the first term is 1. For an arbitrary GP, the first term is generally denoted
by a and is in general common ratio is denoted by r.
So, if is in geometric progression
The sequence is a Geometric Progression, because

So next term will be 5x375=1875

(5-d)(5+d)=16
d=3
terms of AP are 5-3, 5, 5 + 3 i.e. 2,5,8
126.
Let AB be the building and CD be the tower such that ∠BDE = 30°, ∠BCA = 60°, and AB = 60m.
Let CA = DE = x m.
From ΔCAB,
CA/AB = cot 60° = 1/√3
74
⇒ x/60 = 1/√3
⇒ x = 60 × 1/√3
⇒ x = 60 × 1/√3 × √3/√3 = 20√3 m.
⇒ CA = DE = 20√3 ...(i)
From ΔBED,
BE/DE = tan 30° = 1/√3
⇒ BE/20√3 = 1/√3 [using (i)]
⇒ BE = 20√3 × 1/√3 m = 20 m
Therefore, CD = AE = AB - BE = 60 m - 20 m = 40 m
Hence, the answer is 40 m.
127.
(cos A)/(1 - tan A) + (sin A)/(1 - cot A)
= (cos A)/(1 - (sin A)/(cos A)) + (sin A)/(1 - (cos A)/(sin A))
= (cos2 A)/(cos A - sin A) + (sin2 A)/(sin A - cos A)
= (cos2 A)/(cos A - sin A) - (sin2 A)/(cos A - sin A)
= ((cos A - sin A)(cos A + sin A))/(cos A - sin A)
= cos A + sin A
Hence, the correct answer is sin A + cos A
128.
Given, a = 45° and b = 15°
a - b = 45° - 15° = 30°
And, a + b = 45° + 15° = 60°
So, (cos(a - b) - cos(a + b))/(cos(a - b) + cos(a + b))
= (cos(30°) - cos(60°))/(cos(30°) + cos(60°))
= ((√3)/2 - 1/2)/((√3)/2 + 1/2)
⇒ (√3 - 1)/(√3 + 1) = (√3 - 1)/(√3 + 1) × (√3 - 1)/(√3 + 1)
= ((√3 - 1)2)/((√3)2 - 12) = (3 + 1 - 2√3)/(3 - 1)
⇒ (4 - 2√3)/2 = 2 - √3
Hence, the correct answer is 2 - √3.
129.
Given, tan A = 2/3
Let perpendicular and base be 2 and 3 units.
Now, the hypotenuse = √(22 + 32) = √13
So, sin A = (perpendicular)/(hypotenuse) = 2/√13
Hence, the correct answer is 2/√13.
75
130.
Let the length of the tree be l meters.

2πl × (18°/360°) = 44
⇒ (44l/7) × (1/20) = 44
⇒ l = 140 meters
Hence, the correct answer is 140 meters.
131.
Given:
AB = Height of the building = 1000 metres
Let the distance of the man from the building, BC be x.
From ΔABC, we get
tan 30° = AB/BC
⇒ 1/√3 = 1000/x
⇒ x = 1000√3
⇒ x = 1000 × 1.732 [because √3 = 1.732]
So, the distance of the man from the building is 1732 metres.
Hence, the correct answer is 1732 metres.
76
132.
Given, the radius of the circle = 10 cm.

Angle made by chord AB at the center of this circle = 60 degrees
OA = OB = 10 cm
OAB is an isosceles triangle
So, ∠OAB = ∠OAB = (180° - 60°)/2 = 60° by angle sum property.
Since, ∠OAB = ∠OBA = ∠AOB = 60°, OAB is an equilateral triangle.
So, OA = OB = AB = 10 cm
Hence, the correct answer is 10 cm.
133.
Given, The circumference of the two circles is 198 cm and 352 cm respectively.
Let the radii be R and r,
So, 2πR - 2πr = 352 - 198
⇒ R - r = (154 × 7)/(2 × 22)
⇒ R - r = 49/4
⇒ R - r = 24.5 cm
Hence, the correct answer is 24.5 cm.
134.
Area of the parallelogram = 28 × 12 = 336 cm2
Let the length of the altitude of the triangle be h cm.
(1/2) × h × 28 = 336
⇒ h = 12 × 2
⇒ h = 24 cm
135.
77
AB = 24 cm
And OC = 5 cm
We have to find AO.
C is the middle point of the chord.
Therefore, AC = 24/2 = 12 cm
Using Pythagoras theorem,
AO2 = AC2 + OC2
⇒ AO2 = 122 + 52
⇒ AO2 = 144 + 25
⇒ AO2 = 169
⇒ AO = 13 cm
136.
By Pythagoras theorem,
(AC)2 = (AB)2 + (BC)2
⇒ (AC)2 = (14)2 + (48)2
⇒ (AC)2 = 196 + 2304
⇒ AC = √2500
⇒ AC = 50 km
Hence, the correct answer is 50 km.
137.
Let the equal angles be x.
The sum of the three angles of a triangle is 180°.
So, x + x + 78° = 180°
⇒ 2x = 180° - 78°
⇒ 2x = 102°
⇒ x = 51°
Hence, the correct answer is 51°.
138.
Given: Sides of the triangle = 16 cm
Area of an equilateral triangle with sides a = (√3/4) × (a)2
78

Hence, the correct answer is 64√3 cm2.
139.
Interior Angle Theorem - (Part 2) -
Theorem 5: If a transversal intersects two lines such that a pair of interior angles on the same
side of the transversal is supplementary, then the two lines are parallel.
A transversal t, cuts two lines AB and CD at E and F respectively such that ∠4 + ∠5 = 180°.
We need to prove, AB is parallel to CD.

Since ray EB stands on line t,
we have: ∠1 + ∠4 = 180° [linear pair angle]
and, ∠4 + ∠5 = 180° [given]
therefore, ∠1 + ∠4 = ∠4 + ∠5
this gives, ∠1 = ∠5
But, these are corresponding angles. So AB is parallel to CD.
From the theorem
2x + 4x = 180°
6x = 180°
x = 30°
140.
Given,
∠AOC : ∠AOD = 1:2,
Let ∠AOC = x and ∠AOD = 2x,
∠AOC + ∠AOD = 180°
x + 2x = 180°
79
3x = 180°
x = 60°
∠AOC = 60°
∠AOD = 120°
∠BOD is vertically opposite to ∠AOC
So, ∠BOD = ∠AOC = 60°
141.
We know that, in a deck,
Total no. of cards = 52
No. of kings = 4
No. of heart cards = 13
& total no. of red cards = 13 + 13 = 26
Thus, favorable outcomes = 4 + 13 + 26 – 13 – 2 = 28
Now,
Probability = no. of favorable outcomes / total no. of outcomes
= 28 / 52
= 7/13
142.
Number of successes = 5
Number of failures = 2 + 6 = 8

143.
ALGORITHM ……. (given word)
Total no. of letters = 9
Thus, total no. of words = 9!
Thus, n(s) = 9!
Considering ‘GOR’ as one group –
A L GOR I T H MA
↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Thus, no. of letters = 7

Now, if the GOR group remains together, then the order = 7!
Thus, n (E) = 7!
Now, we know that,
Required probability = No. of favorable outcomes/ Total no. of outcomes
= n (E) / n(S) …..[Since n! = n x (n – 1) x (n – 2)…1]
= 7! / 9!
= 7! / 9 x 8 x 7!
= 1 / 72

5 2
2 2
1 1
4 3
The value with the highest frequency is 3 and hence it is the mode.
145.
According to the above table, the maximum class frequency is 50, and the corresponding
class interval is 0-10.
The modal class for the provided data is therefore 10-20.
The lower limit of the modal class, l = 10.
Class size, h = 20-10 = 10.
Frequency of the modal class, f₁ = 50.
Frequency of the class preceding the modal class, f₀ = 25.
Frequency of the class succeeding the modal class, f₂ = 20.
We know that the formula to find the mode of the grouped data is given by the formula
Mode = l + ((f₁ - f₀) / (2f₁ - f₀ - f₂)) × h
Substituting the above values in the equation we get,
Mode = 10 + ((50 - 25) / (2(50) - 25 - 20)) × 10
= 10 + (25 / (100 - 45)) × 10
= 10 + (25 / 55) × 10
= 10 + 5 / 11 × 10
= 160 / 11
≈ 14.54
146.
Let us design the cumulative frequency table
Class Interval Frequency Cumulative frequency
10-20 5 5
20-30 10 15
30-40 12 27
40-50 8 35
50-60 5 40
81
Here,
N = 40.
N / 2 = 40 / 2 = 20.
The next immediate higher frequency value of 20 is 27, and the corresponding class is the
median class.
Therefore, the median class is 30-40.
Here, L = 30,
U = 40,
CF is the cumulative frequency of the immediate lower class of the median class. Therefore,
CF = 15.
F is the frequency of the median class, F = 12.
C is the width of the class = U - L,
= 40 - 30 = 10.
The median of a class is given by the formula
Median = L + [(N / 2 - CF) × C / F].
Substituting the above values in the formula, we get
Median = 30 + [(20 - 15) × 10 / 12],
= 30 + 12.5,
= 42.5.
147.
The median, a statistic of central tendency, is used to determine the dataset's middle value.
When data are arranged in ascending order inside intervals of grouped data, the median
reflects the middle-class interval.
A) The mode represents the value that occurs most frequently. The mode is the value that
appears most frequently in a dataset.
C) The median is a measure of central tendency, not data spread. The range and standard
deviation are two ways to determine the spread.
D) The mean is the data's arithmetic average: Not the median. By adding together all the
values and dividing by the total number of values, the mean is calculated.
148.
Let the number of boys be B and the number of girls be G.
We know that the total number of students is 60,
⇒ B + G = 60 ...(1)
We also know that the average mark of all students is 62, the average mark of boys is 60, and
the average mark of girls is 65.
⇒ 60B + 65G = 62 × 60 ...(2)
We can solve these two equations to find the value of B. Multiplying equation (1) by 60,
⇒ 60B + 60G = 60 × 60
Subtracting this from equation (2),
⇒ 5G = 2 × 60
⇒ G = 24
Substituting G = 24 into equation (1),
⇒ B = 60 - 24 = 36

149.
Given, the average weight of 5 men decreases by 3 kg when one of them weighing 150 kg is
replaced by another person.
When the average weight of 5 men decreases by 3 kg, the total sum of weight should reduce
by 5 × 3 kg = 15 kg
So, the new weight should be 15 kg less than 150 kg.
⇒ New weight = 150 kg – 15 kg = 135 kg
Hence, the correct answer is 135 kg.
150.
Given that the average of eight consecutive odd numbers is 48.
Let the eight consecutive odd numbers be x, (x + 2), (x + 4), (x + 6), (x + 8), (x + 10), (x + 12), (x
+ 14).
The average of eight consecutive odd numbers = 48
⇒ (x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) + (x + 8) + (x + 10) + (x + 12) + (x + 14))/8 = 48
⇒ (8x + 56) = 384
⇒ 8x = 328
⇒ x = 41
Therefore, the 5th number = 41 + 8 = 49 and the 7th number = 41 + 12 = 53
⇒ Total = 49 + 53 = 102
