Q21Written answer

What is the central angle of the sector (in the above pie chart) representing skin and bones together?

NCERT Exemplars Class 8 Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Image 5

(a) 36o (b) 60o (c) 90o (d) 96o

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(d) 96o

Distribution of protein in the skin = 1/10

Distribution of protein in the bones = 1/6

Central angle of the sector representing skin and bones,

= 1/10 + 1/6

= (3 + 5)/30

= 8/30 × 360o

= 96o

Q22Written answer

What is the central angle of the sector (in the above pie chart) representing hormones enzymes and other proteins?

NCERT Exemplars Class 8 Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Image 5

(a) 120o (b) 144o (c) 156o (d) 176o

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(b) 144o

Distribution of protein in the skin = 1/10

Distribution of protein in the bones = 1/6

Distribution of protein in the Muscles = 1/3

Central angle of the sector represents skin, muscles and bones,

= 1/10 + 1/6 + 1/3

= (3 + 5 + 10)/30

= 18/30 × 360o

= 216o

Then,

Central angle of the sector represents hormones enzymes and other proteins,

= 360o – 216o

= 144o

(d) Double bar graph

Q26Written answer

Size of the class 150 –175 is

(a) 150 (b) 175 (c) 25 (d) –25

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(c) 25

The difference between the upper-class limit and lower class limit of a class is called the Size of the class.

= Upper limit – lower limit

= 175 – 150

= 25

Q27Written answer

In a throw of a dice, the probability of getting the number 7 is

(a) ½ (b) 1/6 (c) 1 (d) 0

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(d) 0

Only 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are in the dice. So, no chance of getting number 7.
