Answer

The above table can be written as :

MarksNo. of candidates
0 - 100
10 - 2025
20 - 3042
30 - 4065
40 - 5095
50 - 60120
60 - 70128
70 - 80135
80 - 90148
90 - 100150

Steps of construction :

  1. Take 1 cm = 10 marks on x-axis.

  2. Take 1 cm = 20 students on y-axis.

  3. Plot the point (0, 0) as ogive starts on x-axis representing lower limit of first class.

  4. Plot the points (10, 0), (20, 25), (30, 42), (40, 65), (50, 95), (60, 120), (70, 128), (80, 135), (90, 148) and (100, 150).

  5. Join the points by a free-hand curve.

  6. Draw a line parallel to y-axis from point L (marks) = 45, touching the graph at point M. From point M draw a line parallel to x-axis touching y-axis at point N.

The result of a examination is tabulated below. Chapterwise Revision, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 10.

From graph, N = 80

Hence, no. of students having marks less than 45 = 80.

(ii) Steps :

  1. Draw a line parallel to y-axis from point O (marks) = 75, touching the graph at point P. From point P draw a line parallel to x-axis touching y-axis at point Q.

From graph, Q = 131

It means that,

131 students have marks less than or equal to 75.

∴ No. of students having marks more than 75 = 150 - 131 = 19.

Hence, no. of students having marks more than 75 = 19.
