Q1: A plastic box 1.5 m long, 1.25 m wide and 65 cm deep is to be made. It is to be open at the top. Ignoring the thickness of the plastic sheet, determine :
(i) The area of the sheet required for making the box.
(ii) The cost of sheet for it, if a sheet measuring 1 m2 costs Rs 20.

Answer: Given,
l = 1.5 m,
b = 1.25 m,
h = 65 cm = 0.65 m

(i) ∵ the box is open at the top, it has only five faces.

Surface Area (SA) for five faces = lb + 2(bh + hl)

= 1.5 × 1.25 m² + 2 (1.25 × 0.65 + 0.65 × 1.5) m²
= 1.875 + 2 (1.7875) m² = 1.875 + 3.575
= 5.45 m²

(ii) Cost of 1 m² of the sheet = ₹ 20
∴ cost of 5.45 m² of the sheet = 20 × 5.45 m² = ₹ 109 (Answer)


Q2: The length, breadth and height of a room are 5m, 4m and 3m respectively. Find the cost of white washing the walls of the room and the ceiling at the rate of Rs 7.50 per m².

NCERT Exemplar Problems and Solutions


Q1: If x and y are directly proportional and when x = 13, y = 39, which of the following is not a possible pair of corresponding values of x and y ?

(a) 1 and 3
(b) 17 and 51
(c) 30 and 10
(d) 6 and 18

Answer: (c) 30 and 10
For direct variation,
x1   =  x2
y1 y2

Thus x/y = 13/39 = 1/3. Options (a), (b) and (d) have the same ratio while option (c) does not.


Q2: Which of the following is in direct proportion?

(a) One side of a cuboid and its volume.
(b) Speed of a vehicle and the distance travelled in a fixed time interval.
(c) Change in weight and height among individuals.

Question(CBSE 2013 comptt):

Surely, Shakespeare is wicked, the map a bad example,
With ships and sun and love tempting them to steal—
For lives that slyly turn in their cramped holes
From fog to endless night? On their slag heap, these children
Wear skins peeped through by bones and spectacles of steel
With mended glass, like bottle bits on stones.

Q1: Why is the map called a bad example?

Q2: Why is Shakespeare described is wicked?

Q3: Where do the children spend their lives?

Q4: What does the reference to 'slag heap' mean?

Q5: What do 'fog' and 'endless night' stand for?


Answers:

1: The map is a bad example because it does not depict their own world of narrow lanes and hovels.

2: Shakespeare is described as wicked because any learning about him makes no sense for the children. They are troubled by hunger, despair and failed aspiration, learning about Shakespeare would not make their lives any better.
