Questions 1 to 9 carry 1 mark each.
1. Comparison of parts of a whole may be done by a
(a) Bar graph (b) pie chart (c) linear graph (d) line graph
Ans. (b) Pie chart
A pie chart is used to compare the parts of a whole because the circle represents the whole.

2. A graph that displays data that changes continuously over periods of time is
(a) Bar graph (b) pie chart (c) histogram (d) line graph
Ans. (d) Line graph
A line graph displays the continuous change of
data over a period of time, like speed or

 During which of the periods did the cyclist maintain his greatest speed ?
(a) AB (b) BC (c) CD (d) DE
Ans. (a) AB
During AB, Speed = Distance travelled/Time taken = 20 km/1h = 20 km/h

5. Which axis runs horizontally?

(a) X axis (b) Y axis (c) Z axis (d) None of these
Ans. (a) X axis
X axis runs horizontally

6. A point which lies on both the axes is :

7. The following line graph shows the yearly sales figures of a manufacturing company.

Compute the difference between the sales in 2013 and 2015.

(a) ₹ 3 crores (b) ₹ 4 crores (c) ₹ 5 crores (d) ₹ 6 crores
Ans. (a) ` 3 crores
Sales in 2013 = ₹ 7 crores
Sales in 2015 = ₹ 10 crores
So, the difference between the sales
in 2013 and 2015 = ₹ (10 – 7) crores = ₹ 3 crores

8. In the above question 7, Find the average sales from 2012 to 2016.
(a) ₹ 6 crores (b) ₹ 7 crores (c) ₹ 8 crores (d) ₹ 9 crores
Ans. (b) ₹ 7 crores
Average sales = ₹ (4 + 7 + 6 + 10 + 8) / 5 = ₹ 35/5 = ₹ 7 crores

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 2 -

 Assertion (A): Variables whose values depend upon values of other variable are called
dependent variable.
Reason(R): The relation between a dependent and an independent variable is shown through a
graph.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
(c) A is true but R is false
(d) A is false but R is true
Ans. (b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
A and R both explains dependent variable and graph respectively but are not correct
explanation.

SECTION – B
Questions 10 to 13 carry 2 marks each.

10. The following graph shows the relationship between the time and distance travelled by a car.

Using this graph, find:

(a) the distance covered during the period 7:30 am to 8 am.
(b) the time when the car had covered a distance of 60km since its start.
Ans. (a) The distance covered by the car when the time is 7:30 am = 100 km
The distance covered by the car when the time is 8 am = 120 km
The distance covered by the car during the period 7:30 am to 8 am
= 120 km – 100 km = 20 km
(b) The time when the car had covered a distance of 60km since its start was 6:30 am.

(b) How many instruments have been sold in the last 5 months?
Ans. (a) 100 – 30 = 70
(b) 325

Ans. (a) First week (b) Friday

SECTION – C
Questions 14 to 16 carry 3 marks each.

14. Draw a graph for the following data.

Number of apples 1 2 3 4 5 6
Cost (in ₹) 5 10 15 20 25 30
Ans. (i) Draw the coordinate axes and take a suitable scale on both the axes.
We choose a scale on Horizontal axis: 1 unit = 1 apple
Vertical axis: 1 unit = ₹ 5
(ii) Mark the number of apples along horizontal axis (x-axis).
(iii) Mark cost of the apples along vertical axis (y-axis).
(iv) Plot the points: (1, 5), (2, 10), (3, 15), (4, 20), (5, 25), (6, 30).

axis at (0, 5).

SECTION – D
Questions 17 to 18 carry 5 marks each.

17. A bank gives 10% Simple Interest (S.I.) on deposits by senior citizens. Draw a graph to

graph
(a) the annual interest obtainable for an investment of ₹ 250.
(b) the investment one has to make to get an annual simple interest of ₹ 70.
Ans. We get a table of values.

(i) Scale : 1 unit = ₹ 100 on horizontal axis; 1 unit = ₹ 10 on vertical axis.

(ii) Mark Deposits along horizontal axis.
(iii) Mark Simple Interest along vertical axis.
(iv) Plot the points : (100,10), (200, 20), (300, 30), (500,50) etc.

(a) Corresponding to ₹ 250 on horizontal axis, we get the interest to be ₹ 25 on vertical axis.
(b) Corresponding to ₹ 70 on the vertical axis, we get the sum to be ₹ 700 on the horizontal
axis.

18. Ajit can ride a scooter constantly at a speed of 30 kms/hour. Draw a time-distance graph for
this situation. Use it to find
(i) the time taken by Ajit to ride 75 km. (ii) the distance covered by Ajit in 3½ hours.
Ans. We get a table of values.

(i) Scale: Horizontal: 2 units = 1 hour and Vertical: 1 unit = 10 km

(ii) Mark time on horizontal axis.
(iii) Mark distance on vertical axis.
(iv) Plot the points: (1, 30), (2, 60), (3, 90), (4, 120).
(v) Join the points. We get a linear graph.
(a) Corresponding to 75 km on the vertical axis, we get the time to be 2.5 hours on the
horizontal axis. Thus 2.5 hours are needed to cover 75 km.
(b) Corresponding to 3½ hours on the horizontal axis, the distance covered is 105 km on the
