Marks Below 10 Below 20 Below 30 Below 40 Below 50 Below 60
No. of students 3 12 27 57 75 80
Sol. We first convert the given frequency distribution into a simple frequency distribution.
Marks 010 1020 2030 3040 4050 5060
No. of students 3 9 15 30 18 5
Here the class 3040 has maximum frequency, so modal class is 3040.

19. Show that 2 3 is irrational.
Sol. If possible, let 2 3 be rational.
Let its simplest form be
2 3 =
a
b
, where a and b are positive integers having no
common factor other than 1. Then,
2 3 = 3 =
2
a a
b b

(i)
Since, a and 2b are non-zero integers, so
2
a
b
is rational.
Thus, from (i), it follows that
3
is rational.
This contradicts the fact that
3
is irrational.
This contradiction arises by assuming that 2
3
is rational.
Hence, 2 3 is irrational. Proved.
OR
Use Euclids division algorithm to find the HCF of 441, 567, 693.
Sol. First we find the HCF of 567 and 693
693 = 1 567 + 126
567 = 4 126 + 63
126 = 2 63 + 0
HCF of 567 and 693 = 63
Now, 441 = 7 63
HCF of 63 and 441 is 63
Hence, HCF of 441, 567 and 693 is 63.

20. Five years hence, fathers age will be three times the age of his son. Five years ago,
father was seven times as old as his son. Find their present ages.
Sol. Let the present age of father be x years and the present age of son be y years.
Five years hence, fathers age = (x + 5) years
Five years hence, sons age = (y + 5) years
According to condition, x + 5 = 3(y + 5) = x 3y 10 = 0 (i)
Five years ago, fathers age = (x 5) years
Five years ago, sons age = (y 5) years
According to condition, (x 5) = 7 (y 5) x 7y + 30 = 0 (ii)
Subtracting equation (ii) from equation (i), we get, 4y 40 = 0 y = 10
Putting y = 10 in equation (i), we get, x 30 10 = 0 x = 40
Hence, present age of father is 40 years and present age of son is 10 years.

Daily income (in Rs.) 100-120 120-140 140-160 160-180 180-200
Number of workers 12 14 8 6 10
Convert the above distribution to a less than type cumulative frequency distribution,
and draw its ogive.
Sol. We first prepare the cumulative frequency distribution table by less than method as
given below :
Daily income (in Rs.) No. of workers Income less than Cumulative frequency
100-120 12 120 12
120-140 14 140 26
140-160 8 160 34
160-180 6 180 40
180-200 10 200 50

We plot the points (120, 12), (140, 26), (160, 34), (180, 40), (200, 50) and join these
points by a free hand curve to get the required ogive.
