Question 7.
A shopkeeper sells an article at the listed price of ₹ 1500 and the rate of VAT is 12% at each stage of sale. If the shopkeeper pays a VAT of ₹ 36 to the Government, what was the amount inclusive of tax at which the shopkeeper purchased the articles from the wholesaler?
Solution:
List price (M.P.) of an article = ₹ 1500
Rate of VAT = 12%
Total VAT = ₹ \(\frac { 1500 x 12 }{ 100 }\) = ₹ 180
But VAT paid by the shopkeeper = ₹ 36
Total VAT paid by wholeseller = ₹ 180 – ₹ 36 = ₹ 144
Rate of VAT = 12%
S.P. of the whole seller = \(\frac { 144 x 100 }{ 12 }\) = ₹ 1200
Total amount paid by the wholeseller including VAT = ₹ 1200 + ₹ 144 = ₹ 1344

Question 8.
A shopkeeper buys an article whose list price is ₹ 800 at some rate of discount from a wholesaler. He sells the article to a consumer at the list price and charges sales tax at the prescribed rate of 7.5%.

Question 1.
Arun scored 36 marks in English, 44 marks in Civics, 75 marks in Mathematics and x marks in Science. If he has scored an average of 50 marks, find x.
Solution:
Marks in English = 36
Marks in Civics = 44
Marks in Mathematics = 75
Marks in Science = x
Total marks in 4 subjects = 36 + 44 + 75 + x = 155 + x
average marks = \(\\ \frac { 155+x }{ 4 } \)
But average marks = 50 (given)
\(\\ \frac { 155+x }{ 4 } \) = 50
⇒ 155 + x = 200
⇒ x = 200 – 155 = 45

Question 2.

Now plot the points (7000,20), (8000,65), (9000,130),
(10000,225), (11000,285), (12000,315) and(13000, 320)
on the graph and join them in order with a free hand
to get an ogive as shown in the figure
(i) Total number of employees = 320
\(\frac { N }{ 2 } =\frac { 320 }{ 2 } =160\)
From 160 on the y-axis, draw a line parallel to x-axis meeting the curve at P.
From P. draw a perpendicular on x-axis meeting it at M, M is the median which is 9300
(ii) From 8500 on the x-axis, draw a perpendicular which meets the curve at Q.
From Q, draw a line parallel to x-axis meeting y-axis at N. Which is 98
(iii) From 11500 on the x-axis, draw a line perpendicular to x-axis meeting the curve at R.
From R, draw a line parallel to x-axis meeting y-axis at L. Which is 300
No. of employees getting more than Rs. 11500 = 320
(iv) Upper quartile (Q1)
\(\frac { 3N }{ 4 } =\frac { 320\times 3 }{ 4 } =240\)
From 240 on y-axis, draw a line perpendicular on the x-axis which meets the curve at S.
From S, draw a perpendicular on x-axis meeting it at T. Which is 10250.
Hence Q3 = 10250

Solution:
ML Aggarwal Class 10 Solutions for ICSE Maths Chapter 21 Measures of Central Tendency Ex 21.6 Q10.2
ML Aggarwal Class 10 Solutions for ICSE Maths Chapter 21 Measures of Central Tendency Ex 21.6 Q10.3
Plot the points (45, 5), (50, 22), (55, 44), (60, 89), (65, 140),
(70, 171), (75, 191) and (80, 200) on the graph
and join them in free hand to get an ogive as shown From the graph,
number of students weighing 55 kg or more = 200 – 44 = 156
Percentage = \(\frac { 156 }{ 200 } \times 100\) = 78%
(ii) 30% of 200 = \(\frac { 200\times 30 }{ 100 } \) = 60
∴ Heaviest 60 students in weight = 9 + 20 + 31 = 60
(From the graph, the required weight is 65 kg or more but less than 80 kg)
(iii) Total number of students who are
1. under weight = 47 and
2. over weight = 152
(∴ Standard weight is 55.70 kg)

ML Aggarwal Class 10 Solutions for ICSE Maths Chapter 21 Measures of Central Tendency Ex 21.6 Q12.2
ML Aggarwal Class 10 Solutions for ICSE Maths Chapter 21 Measures of Central Tendency Ex 21.6 Q12.3
Now we plot the points (10, 5), (20, 14), (30, 30), (40, 52), (50, 78), (60, 96), (70, 107),
(80, 113), (90, 117) and (100, 120) on the graph
and join the points in a free hand to form an ogive as shown.
Here n = 120 which is an even number
(i) Median = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \left[ \frac { 120 }{ 2 } +\left( \frac { 120 }{ 2 } +1 \right) \right] \) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \left( 60+61 \right) \) = 60.5
Now take a point A (60.5) on y-axis and from A
draw a line parallel to x- axis meeting the curve in P
and from P, draw a perpendicular to x-axis meeting it at Q.
∴ Q is the median which is 43.00 (approx.)
(ii) Lower quartile = \(\frac { n }{ 4 } =\frac { 120 }{ 4 } =30\)
Now take a point B (30) on y-axis and from B,
draw a line parallel to x-axis meeting the curve in L
and from L draw a perpendicular to x-axis meeting it at M.
M is the lower quartile which is 30.
(iii) Take a point C (75) on the x-axis
and from C draw a line perpendicular to it meeting the curve at R.
From R, draw a line parallel to x-axis meeting y-axis at S.
∴S shows 110 students getting below 75%
and 120 – 110 = 10 students getting more than 75% marks.
(iv) Pass percentage is 40%
Now take a point D (40) on x-axis and from D
draw a line perpendicular to x-axis meeting the curve at E
and from E, draw a line parallel to x-axis meeting the y-axis at F.
∴ F shows 52
∴ No of students who could not get 40% and failed in the examination are 52.

ML Aggarwal Class 10 Solutions for ICSE Maths Chapter 21 Measures of Central Tendency Ex 21.6 Q13.3
Now, we take height along x-axis and number of students along the y-axis.
Now, plot the point (140, 0), (145, 12), (150, 32), (155, 62), (160, 100), (165, 124),
(170, 140), (175, 152) and (180, 160). Join these points by a free hand curve to get the ogive.
(i) Here N = 160 => \(\\ \frac { N }{ 2 } \) = 80
On the graph paper take a point A on the y- axis representing 80.
A draw horizontal line meeting the ogive at B.
From B, draw BC ⊥ x-axis, meeting the x-axis at C. The abscissa of C is 157.5
So, median = 157.5 cm
(ii) Proceeding in the same way as we have done in above,
we have, Q1 = 152 and Q3 = 164 So, interquartile range = Q3 – Q1 = 164 – 152 = 12 cm
(iii) From the ogive, we see that the number of students whose height is less than 172 is 145.
No. of students whose height is above 172 cm = 160 – 145 = 15

∴ Here n = 100 which is an even number
∴ Median = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \left[ \frac { n }{ 2 } +\left( \frac { n }{ 2 } +1 \right) \right] =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \left[ \frac { 100 }{ 2 } +\left( \frac { 100 }{ 2 } +1 \right) \right] =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } (50+51)=\frac { 101 }{ 2 } =50.5\)
Now plot points (130.5, 12), (140.5, 28), (150.5, 58), (160.5, 78), (170.5, 92)
and (180.5, 100) on the graph and join them in free hand to form an ogive as shown.
Now take a point A (50-5) on y-axis and from A
draw a line parallel to x-axis meeting the curve at P
and from P, draw a line perpendicular to x-axis meeting it at Q
.’. Q (147.5) is the median.
