Q 10 Mr. RK Agrawal is owner of a famous amusement park in Delhi.

Generally he does not go to park and it is managed by team of staff.
The ticket charge for the park is Rs 150 for children and Rs 400 for
adults.

One day Mr. Agrawal decided to random check the park and went there.
When he checked the cash counter, he found that 480 tickets were sold
and Rs 134500 was collected.

i) Let the number of children visited be x and the number of adults

visited be y.
Which of the following is the correct system of equation that
models the problem?
(a) x + y = 480 and 3x + 8y = 2690

9 i) 2x + y = 19 and x + y = 13 pair of linear equations describe this

situation

ii) Outer boundary of layout = 2(L + B) = 2(15 + 12) = 2 x 27 = 54 m.

iii) Area of Bedroom 1 = L x B = x x 5 = 6 x 5 = 30m².

Area of Living room = 7(2 + y) + x * 2 = 7(2 + 7) + 6 x 2 = 7 x 9 + 12

= 63 + 12 = 75 m².

iv) Cost of laying tiles in kitchen = Rate / m² x Area of kitchen = 50 x (5

x y) = 250 x 7 = Rs.1750.

10. i) Since 480 people visited thus x + y = 480. Collected amount is Rs

134500 thus 150x + 400y = 134500 & 3x + 8y = 2690. Thus (a) is
correct option.

ii) Solving the equations x + y = 480 and 3x + 8y = 2690 we get x = 230

and y = 250 Number of children attended = 230 Number of adults
attended = 250. Thus (c) is correct option.

iii) Number of adults attended = 250. Thus (a) is correct option.

iv) Amount = 150 x 300 + 400 x 350 = 1, 85,000 Rs.Thus (d) is correct
option.

Q9 Kumbh Mela is a major pilgrimage and festival in Hinduism. It is
celebrated in a cycle of approximately 12 years at four river-bank
pilgrimage sites: the Prayagraj (Ganges-Yamuna Sarasvati rivers
confluence), Haridwar (Ganges), Nashik (Godavari), and Ujjain
(Shipra). The festival is marked by a ritual dip in the waters. The
seekers believe that bathing in these rivers is a means to prayascitta
for past mistakes, and that it cleanses them of their sins.
Government of UP is planning to procure tents in the shape of a
cylinder surmounted by a cone for the pilgrims during Kumbh Mela.
The specifications of the tent are as follows:
 Lower cylindrical part must have a thick fabric whose cost is
₹60 per square meter.
 Top conical part must have PVC coated fabric whose cost is
₹70 per square meter.

The front view of tent is given below with dimensions.

(i) How much PVC coated fabric is required for each tent?
(ii) How much thick fabric is required for each tent?
(iii)If labor charges for the construction of tent are ₹15 per square
meter, what is the total cost of each tent?

of solid figures - a big hemispherical dome with a cuboidal structure
mounted on it. (Take )

Q9 Air Quality Index (AQI) is an index for reporting air quality on a daily
basis. The purpose of the AQI is to help people know how the local
air quality impacts their health. The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) calculates the AQI for five major air pollutants:

1. Ground-level ozone
2.Particle pollution/
particulate matter
(PM2.5/pm 10)
3. Carbon Monoxide
4. Sulfur dioxide
5. Nitrogen dioxide
 The higher the AQI value, the greater the level of air pollution and
the greater the health concerns.
The following frequency distribution shows the Air Quality Index of
different localities of Delhi on 27th December 2020 reported by The
Times of India newspaper on 28th December 2020.
AQI Number of Weeks

(ii) In which class does the median of distribution lie?
(iii) In which class does the mode of distribution lie?
(iv) What is the median AQI?
Q 10 Traffic Management: A traffic enforcement camera is a camera which
may be mounted beside or over a road or installed in an
enforcement vehicle to detect motoring offenses, including speeding,
vehicles going through a red traffic light. A worldwide review of
studies found that speed cameras led to a reduction of 11% to 44%
for fatal and serious injury crashes. The British Medical Journal
recently reported that speed cameras were effective at reducing
accidents and injuries in their vicinity and recommended wider
deployment.

In order to monitor reckless driving on a Mumbai road, special

cameras have been installed at many traffic lights.
