(ii)
(a) Outcomes of an event of getting a number greater than 5 are 6
(b) Outcomes of an event of getting a; number not greater than 5 are 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Question 3.
Find the
(a) Probability of the pointer stopping on D in (Question l-(a))?
(b) Probability of getting an ace from a j well shuffled deck of 52 playing cards?
(c) Probability of getting a red apple. (See figure)

Solution.
(a) There are in all 5 outcomes of the event. These are A, B, C and D. The pointer stopping on D has only 1 outcome, i.e., D
∴ Probability of the pointer stopping on D =\(\frac { 1 }{ 5 } \)

(b) Total number of playing cards = 52 Number of possible outcomes = 52
Number of aces in a deck of playing cards = 4
cards = 4
∴ Probability of getting an ace from a well shuffled deck of 52
playing cards = \(\frac { 4 }{ 52 } \) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 13 } \)

(c) Total number of apples = 7
Number of red apples = 4
∴ Probability of getting a red apple = \(\frac { 4 }{7} \)

Question 4.
Numbers 1 to 10 are written on ten separate slips (one number on one slip), kept in a box and mixed well. One slip is chosen from the box without looking into it. What is the probability of?
(i) getting a number 6?
(ii) getting a number less than 6?
(iii) getting a number greater than 6?
(iv) getting a 1-digit number?
Solution.
Total number of outcomes of the event (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10) = 10
(i)
∵ Number of outcomes of getting a number 6=1
∴ Probability of getting a number \(\frac { 1 }{10} \)

(ii)
∵ There are 5 numbers (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5) less than 6.
∴ Number of outcomes of getting a number less than 6 = 5
∴ Probability of getting a number less than \(6=\frac { 5 }{ 10 } =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)

(iii)
∵ There are 4 numbers (7, 8, 9 and 10) greater than 6
∴ Number of outcomes of getting a number greater than 6 = 4
∴ Probability of getting a number greater than \(6=\frac { 4 }{ 10 } =\frac { 2}{ 15 } \)

(iv)
∵ There are 9 1-digit numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9)
∴ Number of outcomes of getting a 1-digit number = 9
∴ Probability of getting a 1-digit number \(=\frac { 9 }{ 10 } \)

Question 5.
If you have a spinning wheel with 3 green sectors, 1 blue sector and 1 red sector, what is the probability of getting a green sector? What is the probability of getting a nonblue sector?
Solution.
Number of green sectors = 3
Number of blue sectors = 1
Number of red sectors = 1
∴ Total number of sectors = 3 + 1 + 1=5
∴ Total number of outcomes of the event = 5
Number of outcomes of getting a green sector = 3
∴ Probability of getting a green sector = \(\frac { 3 }{ 5 } \)
Number of outcomes of getting a non-blue sector = Number of green sectors + Number of red sectors
=3+1=4
∴ Probability of getting a non-blue sector = \(\frac { 4 }{ 5 } \).

Question 6.
Find the probabilities of the events given in Question 2.
Solution.
Total number of outcomes of the event (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) = 6
(i)
(a) Number of prime numbers (2, 3 and 5) = 3
∴ Number of outcomes of getting a prime number = 3
∴ Probability of getting a prime number = \(\frac { 3 }{ 6 } =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \).
(b) Number of non-prime numbers (1, 4 and 6) = 3
∴ Number of outcomes of getting a non-prime number = 3
∴ Probability of getting a non-prime number = \(\frac { 3 }{ 6 } =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \).

(ii)
(a) Number greater than 5 = 6, i.e., only one.
∴ Number of outcomes of getting a number greater than 5 = 1
∴ Probability of getting a number greater than 5 = \(\frac { 1 }{ 6 } \).
(b) Number of numbers not greater than 5 (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5) = 5
∴ Number of outcomes of getting a number not greater than 5 = 5
∴ Probability of getting a number not greater than 5 = \(\frac { 5 }{ 6 } \).

NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 5 Data Handling Ex 5.2

Question 1.
A survey was made to find the type of music that a certain group of young people liked in a city. The adjoining pie chart shows the findings of this survey.

From this pie chart answer the following:
(i) If 20 people liked classical music, how many young people were surveyed?
(ii) Which type of music is liked by the maximum number of people?
(iii) If a cassette company were to make 1000 CD’s, how many of each type would they make?
Solution.
(i) Suppose that x young people were surveyed. Then, the number of young people who liked classical music = 10% of x
\(\frac { 10 }{ 100 } \times x=\frac { x }{ 10 } \)

According to the question,
\(\frac { x }{ 10 } =20\)
⇒ x = 20 x 10
⇒ x = 200
Hence, 200 young people were surveyed.

(ii) Light music is liked by the maximum number of people.

(iii) Total number of CD’s = 1000 Number of CD’s of Semi Classical music = 20% of 1000
⇒ \(\frac { 20 }{ 100 } \times 1000=200\)
Number of CD’s of Classical music = 10% of 1000
⇒ \(\frac { 10 }{ 100 } \times 1000=100\)
Number of CD’s of Folk music = 30% of 1000
⇒ \(\frac { 30 }{ 100 } \times 1000=300\)
Number of CD’s of Light music = 40% of 1000
⇒ \(\frac { 40 }{ 100 } \times 1000=400\)

Question 2.
A group of 360 people was asked to vote for their favorite season from the three seasons rainy, winter and summer.

(i) Which season got the most votes?
(ii) Find the central angle of each sector.
(iii) Draw a pie chart to show this information.
Solution.
(i) Winter season got the most votes.

(ii) Total votes = 90 + 120 + 150 = 360. Central angle of winter sector
\(= \frac { Number\quad of\quad people\quad who\quad vote\quad for\quad winter\quad season }{ Total\quad number\quad of\quad people } \times { 360 }^{ \circ }\)
= \(\frac { 150 }{ 360 } \times { 360 }^{ \circ }={ 150 }^{ \circ }\)
Central angle of summer sector
\(= \frac { Number\quad of\quad people\quad who\quad vote\quad for\quad summer\quad season }{ Total\quad number\quad of\quad people } \times { 360 }^{ \circ }\)
= \(\frac { 90 }{ 360 } \times { 360 }^{ \circ }={ 90 }^{ \circ }\)
Central angle of rainy sector
\(= \frac { Number\quad of\quad people\quad who\quad vote\quad for\quad rainy\quad season }{ Total\quad number\quad of\quad people } \times { 360 }^{ \circ }\)
= \(\frac { 120}{ 360 } \times { 360 }^{ \circ }={ 120 }^{ \circ }\)

(iii)

Question 3.
Draw a pie chart showing the following information. The table shows the colors preferred by a group of people.

Find the proportion of each sector. For example, Blue is \(\frac { 18 }{ 36 } =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) ; Green is \(\frac { 9 }{ 36 } =\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \) ; and so on. Use this to find the corresponding angles.
Solution.

Question 4.
The adjoining pie chart gives the marks scored in an examination by a student in Hindi, English, Mathematics, Social Science and Science. If the total marks obtained by the students were 540, answer the following questions.

(i) In which subject did the student score 105 marks?
(Hint: For 540 marks, the central angle = 360°. So, for 105 marks, what is the central angle ?)
(ii) How many more marks were obtained by the student in Mathematics than in Hindi?
(iii) Examine whether the sum of the marks obtained in Social Science and Mathematics is more than that in Science and Hindi.
(Hint; Just study the central angles).
Solution.
(i) Total marks = 540
∵ Central angle corresponding to 540 = 360°
∴ Central angle corresponding to 105
\(\frac { { 360 }^{ \circ } }{ 540 } \times \left( 105 \right) ={ 70 }^{ \circ }\)
Since the sector having central angle 70° is corresponding to Hindi, therefore, the student scored 105 marks in Hindi.

(ii) Central angle corresponding to the sector of Mathematics = 90°
∴ Marks obtained by the student in Mathematics
\(\frac { { 90 }^{ \circ } }{ { 360 }^{ \circ } } \times 540=135\).
Marks obtained by the student in Hindi = 105.
Hence, the student obtained 135 – 105 = 30 marks more in Mathematics than in Hindi.

(iii) Sum of the central angles for Social Science and Mathematics
= 65° + 90° = 155°
Sum of the central angles for Science and Hindi
= 80° + 70° = 150°
Since the marks obtained are proportional to the central angles corresponding to various subjects and 155° > 150°, therefore the sum of the marks obtained in Social Science and Mathematics is more than that in Science and Hindi.

Question 5.
The number of students in a hostel, speaking different languages is given below. Display the data in a pie chart.

Solution.

Solution.
Construction: Produce BO to D such that BO = OD. Join AD and CD.
Proof. AO = OC ∵ O is the mid-point of AC
BO = OD By construction
∴ Diagonals of quadrilateral ABCD bisect each other.
∴ Quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.
Now, ∠ABC = 90° given
∴ ABCD is a rectangle.
Since the diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other, therefore,
O is the mid-point of AC and BD both. But AC = BD
∵ Diagonals of a rectangle are equal
∴ OA = OC =\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)AC =\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)BD = OB
⇒ OA = OB = OC.

(i) AD = ………
(ii) ∠DCB = …………….
(iii) OC = ……………….
(iv) m∠DAB + m∠CDA = …………..
Solution.
(i) AD = BC
Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal

(ii) ∠DCB = ∠DAB
Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal

(iii) OC = OA
∵ Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other

(iv) m∠DAB + m∠CDA = 180°
∵ Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.

Question 2.
Consider the following parallelo¬grams. Find the values of the unknowns x, y, z.

Solution.
(i) y = 100°
Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal
x + 100° = 180°
Adjacent angles in a parallelogram are supplementary
⇒ x = 180° – 100°
⇒ x = 80°
⇒ z – x = 80°
Opposite angles of a parallelogram are of equal measure

(ii) x + 50° = 180°
Adjacent angles in a parallelogram are supplementary
⇒ x = 180° – 50° = 130°
⇒ y = x = 130°
The opposite angles of a parallelogram are of equal measure
180° – z = 50°
Opposite angles of a parallelogram are of equal measure
⇒ z = 180° – 50° = 130°

(iii) x = 90°
Vertically opposite angles are equal
x + y + 30° = 180°
By angle sum property of a triangle
⇒ 90° + y + 30° = 180°
⇒ 120° + y = 180°
⇒ y = 180° – 120° = 60° z + 30° + 90° – 180°
By angle sum property of a triangle
z = 60°

(iv) y = 80°
Opposite angles of a parallelogram are of equal measure
x + 80° = 180°
Adjacent angles in a parallelogram are supplementary
⇒ x = 180° – 80°
⇒ x = 100°
⇒ 180°-2+ 80°= 180°
Linear pair property and adjacent angles in a parallelogram are supplementary.
z = 80°

(v) y = 112°
Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal
x + y + 40° = 180°
By angle sum property of a triangle
⇒ x + 112° + 40° = 180°
⇒ x + 152° = 180°
⇒ x = 180°- 152°
⇒ x = 28°
z = x = 28°.
Alternate interior angles

Question 3.
Can a quadrilateral ABCD be a parallelogram if
(i) ∠D + ∠B = 180° ?
(ii) AB = DC = 8 cm, AD = 4 cm and BC = 4.4 cm
(iii) ∠A = 70° and ∠C = 65°?
Solution.
(i) Can be, but need not be
(ii) No: in a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal; but here, AD ≠ BC.
(iii) No: in a parallelogram, opposite angles are of equal measure; but here ∠A ≠ ∠C.

Question 4.
Draw a rough figure of a quadrilateral that is not a parallelogram but has exactly two opposite angles of equal measure.
Solution.
A kite, for example

Question 5.
The measures of two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are in the ratio 3:2. Find the measure of each of the angles of the parallelogram.
Solution.
Let the two adjacent angles be 3x° and 2x°.
Then,
3x° + 2x° = 180°
∴ Sum of the two adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180°
⇒ 5x° = 180°
⇒ \({ x }^{ \circ }=\frac { { 180 }^{ \circ } }{ 5 } \)
⇒ x° = 36°
⇒ 3x° = 3 x 36° = 108°
and
2x° = 2 x 36° = 72°.
Since, the opposite angles of a parallelogram are of equal measure, therefore the measures of the angles of the parallelogram are 72°, 108°, 72°, and 108°.

Question 6.
Two adjacent angles of a parallelogram have equal measure. Find the measure of each of the angles of the parallelogram.
Solution.
Let the two adjacent angles of a parallelogram be x° each.
Then,
x° + x° = 180°
∴ Sum of the two adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180°.
⇒ 2x° = 180°
⇒ \({ x }^{ \circ }=\frac { { 180 }^{ \circ } }{ 2 } \)
⇒ x° = 90°.
Since the opposite angles of a parallelogram are of equal measure, therefore the measure of each of the angles of the parallelogram is 90°, i.e., each angle of the parallelogram is a right angle.

Question 7.
The adjacent figure HOPE is a parallelogram. Find the angle measures x, y and z. State the properties you use to find them.
Solution.
x = 180° – 70° = 110°
Linear pair property and the opposite angles of a parallelogram are of equal measure.
∵ HOPE is a || gm
∴ HE || OP
and HP is a transversal
∴ y = 40°
alternate interior angles
40° + z + x = 180°
The adjacent angles in a parallelogram are supplementary

⇒ 40° + z + 110° = 180°
⇒ z + 150° = 180°
⇒ z = 180° – 150°
⇒ z = 30°.

Question 8.
The following figures GUNS and RUNS are parallelograms. Find x and y. (Lengths are in cm)
(i)

(ii)

Solution.
(i)
For Figure GUNS
Since the opposite sides of a parallelogram are of equal length, therefore,
⇒ 3x = 18
⇒ \(x=\frac { 18 }{ 3 } =6\)
and, 3y – 1 = 26
⇒ 3y = 26 + 1
⇒ 3y = 27
\(y=\frac { 27 }{ 3 } =9\)
Hence, x = 6; y = 9.

(ii)
For Figure RUNS
Since the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, therefore,
⇒ x + y = 16 …(1)
and, y + 7 = 20 …(2)
From (2),
⇒ y – 20 – 7 = 13
Putting y = 13 in (1), we get
⇒ x + 13 = 16 ⇒ x = 16 – 13 = 3.
Hence, x = 3; y = 13.

Question 9.
In the below figure both RISK and CLUE are parallelograms. Find the value of x.

Solution.

Question 10.
Explain how this figure is a trapezium. Which of its two sides is parallel?
Solution.

∵ ∠KLM + ∠NML = 80° + 100° = 180°
∴ KL || NM
∵ The sum of consecutive interior angles is 180°
∴ Figure KLMN is a trapezium.
Its two sides \(\overline { KL } \) and \(\overline { NM } \) are parallel.

Question 11.
Find m∠C in the figure, if \(\overline { AB } \) || \(\overline { DC } \).

Solution.
∵ \(\overline { AB } \) || \(\overline { DC } \)
∴ m∠C + m∠B = 180°
∵ The sum of consecutive interior angles is 180°
m∠C+ 120° = 180°
⇒ m∠C = 180° – 120° = 60°.

Question 12.
Find the measure of ∠P and ∠S, if \(\overline { SP } \) || \(\overline { RQ } \) in the figure. (If you find mZ R, is there more than one method to find m∠P ?)
Solution.

∵ \(\overline { SP } \) || \(\overline { RQ } \)
∴ m∠P+m∠Q = 180°
∵ The sum of consecutive interior angles is 180°
⇒ m∠P + 130° = 180°
⇒ m∠P = 180° – 130°
⇒ m∠P = 50°
Again, m∠R + m∠S = 180°
∵ The sum of consecutive interior angles is 180°
⇒ 90° + m Z S = 180°
⇒ m∠S = 180° – 90° = 90°
Yes; there is one more method of finding m∠P if m∠R is given and that is by using the angle sum property of a quadrilateral.
We have,
m∠P + m∠Q + m∠R + m∠S = 360°
⇒ m∠P + 130° + 90° + 90° = 360°
⇒ m∠P + 310° = 360°
⇒ m∠P = 360° – 310° = 50°.

NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 3 Understanding Quadrilaterals Ex 3.2

Question 1.
Find x in the following figures.

Solution.

Question 2.
Find the measure of each exterior angle of a regular polygon of
(i) 9 sides
(ii) 15 sides
Solution.
(i) 9 sides
Measure of each exterior angle=\(\frac { { 360 }^{ \circ } }{ 9 } ={ 40 }^{ \circ }\)

(ii) 15 slides
Measure of each exterior angle=\(\frac { { 360 }^{ \circ } }{ 15 } ={ 24 }^{ \circ }\)

Question 3.
How many sides does a regular polygon have if the measure of an exterior angle is 24°?
Solution.
Let the number of sides be n. Then, n(24°)=360°.
⇒ \(n=\frac { { 360 }^{ \circ } }{ 24 } =15\)
Hence, the number of sides is 15.

Question 4.
How many sides does a regular polygon have if each of its interior angles is 165°?
Solution.
∵ Each interior angle=165°
∴ Each exterior angle
= 180°-165°=15°
linear pair property
Let the number of sides be n. Then,
n(15°)=360°
\(n=\frac { { 360 }^{ \circ } }{ { 15 }^{ \circ } } =24\)
Hence, the number of sides is 24.

Question 5.
(a) Is it possible to have a regular polygon with a measure of each exterior angle at 22°?
(b) Can it be an interior angle of a regular polygon? Why?
Solution.
(a) No ; (since 22 is not a factor of 360).
(b) No ; (because each exterior angle is 180° – 22° = 158°, which is not a factor of 360°).

Question 6.
(a) What is the minimum interior angle possible for a regular polygon? Why?
(b) What is the maximum exterior angle possible for a regular polygon?
Solution.
(a) The equilateral triangle is a regular polygon of 3 sides has the minimum measure of an interior angle = 60°.
(b) By (a), we can see that the maximum exterior angle possible for a regular polygon is 180° – 60° = 120°.
