One packet of biscuits requires cups of flour and cups of sugar. Estimated total quantity of both ingredients used in 10 such packets of biscuits will be
(a) less than 30 cups
(b) between 30 cups and 40 cups
(c) between 40 cups and 50 cups
(d) above 50 cups
Answer:

Difference from Base | 0.10°C | –0.17°C | –0.10°C | 0.54°C |
(b) In 1946, the average temperature varied by –0.03°C from the base measure. Between which two years should 1946 fall when the years are ordered from coldest to warmest?
Answer:
(a) –0.17°C < –0.10°C < 0.02°C < 0.10°C < 0.54°C
–0.17°C < –0.10°C < < 0.10°C < 0.54°C
The order of five years from coldest to warmest is 1964, 1965, 1978, 1958, 2002.
(b) In 1946, the average temperature varied by –0.03°C.
Since, –0.10°C< –0.03°C <

Answer:
The atomic weight of Helium = 4.0030
The atomic weight of Hydrogen = 1.0080
The atomic weight of Oxygen – 16.0000
(a) Difference between the atomic weights of Oxygen and Hydrogen = 16.0000 – 1.0080

Measurement made in science lab must be as accurate as possible. Ravi measured the length of an iron rod and said it was 19.34 cm long; Kamal said 19.25 cm; and Tabish said 19.27 cm. The correct length was 19.33 cm. How much of error was made by each of the boys?
Answer:
The correct length of the iron rod = 19.33 cm
The length of the rod measured by Ravi = 19.34 cm
∴ The error made by Ravi = (19.34 − 19.33) cm = +0.01 cm
The length of the rod measured by Kamal = 19.25 cm
∴ The error made by Kamal = (19.25 − 19.33) cm = −0.08 cm
The length of the rod measured by Tabish = 19.27 cm
∴ The error made by Tabish = (19.27 – 19.33) cm = −0.06 cm

Question 87:
A floor is 4.5 m long and 3.6 m wide. A 6 cm square tile costs â¹ 23.25. What will be the cost to cover the floor with these tiles?
Answer:
Length of the floor = 4.5 m
= (4.5 × 100) cm
= 450 cm
Width of the floor = 3.6 m = (3.6 × 100) cm = 360 cm
∴ Area of the floor = (450 × 360) cm2 = 162000 cm2
Side of a square tile = 6 cm
∴ Area of one square tile = (6 × 6) cm2 = 36 cm2
Number of tiles required to cover the floor
= 4500
Cost of 1 tile = â¹23.25
∴Cost of 4500 tiles = â¹(23.25 × 4500)
= â¹104625

A picture hall has seats for 820 persons. At a recent film show, one usher guessed it was full, another that it was full . The ticket office reported 648 sales. Which usher (first or second) made the better guess?
Answer:
Total number of seats = 820
Sale of total tickets = 648
Number of sold tickets guessed by the first usher = of 820
Number of sold tickets guessed by the second usher = of 820
Since, 615 is more close to 648 than 547.
Thus, the first usher made the better guess.

In a survey, 200 students were asked what influenced them most to buy their latest CD. The results are shown in the circle graph.
(a) How many students said radio influenced them most?
(b) How many more students were influenced by radio than by a music video channel?
(c) How many said a friend or relative influenced them or they heard the CD in a shop?
Answer:
Total number of students = 200
(a) Number of students who were influenced by radio
(b) Number of students who were influenced by music video channel
Number of students who were influenced by radio = 90
∴ Number of students that were influenced more by radio than by a music video channel = 90 − 16 = 74
(c) Numberofstudents who were influenced by friend or relative
Number of students who were influenced by hearing or seeing the CD in a shop
∴ Total number of students who were influenced by both friend or relative and hearing the CD in a shop = 30 + 20 = 50

In the morning, a milkman filled L of milk in his can. He sold to Renu, Kamla and Renuka L each; to Shadma he sold L; and to Jassi he gave L. How much milk is left in the can?
Answer:
The can of milk filled by the milkman in the morning =
Milk sold by him to Renu = L
Milk sold by him to Kamla = L
Milk sold by him to Renuka = L
Milk sold by him to Shadma = L
Milk sold by him to Jassi =
Total milk sold by him =
Milk left in the can = The can of milk filled by the milkman in the morning − Total milk sold by him
Thus, milk left in the can is
