Question 1: The following graph shows the temperature of a patient in a hospital, recorded every hour.
a) What was the patient’s temperature at 1 p.m.?
b) When was the patient’s temperature 38.5°C?

Question 1

c) The patient’s temperature was the same two times during the period given. What were these two times?

b) The patient’s temperature was 38.5°C at 12 noon.
c) The patient’s temperature was same at 1 p.m. and 2 p.m.
d) 36.5°C; Since 1.30 p.m. lies in between 1 - 2 p.m. therefore the temperature is same as that on 1 pm and 2 pm i.e. 36.5°C. Hence the temperature at 1.30 p.m. is 36.5°C.

ii) The sales in 2006 was ₹8 crore.
b)
i) The sales in 2003 was ₹7 crore.
ii) The sales in 2005 was ₹10 crore.
c)
Sales in 2002 = ₹ 4 crore
Sales in 2006 = ₹ 8 crore
Difference = 8 - 4 = ₹ 4 crore
d) In the year 2005, there was the greatest difference between the sales and compared to its previous year, which is (₹10 crore - ₹6 crore) = ₹4 crore.

Question 3: For an experiment in Botany, two different plants, plant A and plant B were grown under similar laboratory conditions. Their heights were measured at the end of each week for 3 weeks. The results are shown by the following graph.

Question 3

a) How high was Plant A after (i) 2 weeks (ii) 3 weeks?
b) How high was Plant B after (i) 2 weeks (ii) 3 weeks?
c) How much did Plant A grow during the 3rd week?
d) How much did Plant B grow from the end of the 2nd week to the end of the 3rd week?
e) During which week did Plant A grow most?
f) During which week did Plant B grow least?
g) Were the two plants of the same height during any week shown here? Specify.
Answer:

a)
i) Plant A was 7 cm long after 2 weeks.
ii) Plant A was 9 cm long after 3 weeks.
b)
i) Plant B was 7 cm long after 2 weeks.
ii) Plant B was 10 cm long after 3 weeks.
c)
Plant A height during 2nd week = 7 cm
Plant A height during 3rd week = 9 cm
= 9 - 7 = 2 cm
Therefore, the Plant A grew 2 cm long during the 3rd week.
d)
Plant B height during 2nd week = 7 cm
Plant B height during 3rd week = 10 cm
= 10 - 7 = 3 cm
Therefore, the Plant B grew 3 cm long during the 3rd week.
e) Plant A grew the highest during 2nd week.
f) Plant B grew the least during 1st week.
g) Yes, at the end of the 2nd week, Plant A and B were of the same height i.e. 7 cm.
