From the diagram given, find the bearing of R from S

226^o

224^o

136^o

134^o

View answer & explanation

Correct answer is B

The bearing of R from S = 180 + 44 = 224º, because

-Following the clockwise movement at 90º:

-NORTH -EAST, EAST-SOUTH, SOUTH - WEST & WEST - NORTH

- It is observed that R is situated between SOUTH - WEST poles on S

In the diagram above, O is the centre of the circle, If < UOT = 70^o and < RST = 100^o. Calculate < RUO

20^o

25^o

50^o

80^o

View answer & explanation

Correct answer is B

< OUT = < OTU

< OUT = \(\frac{180^o - 70^o}{2} = \frac{110^o}{2} = 55^o\)

< RUT = 180^o - 100^o = 80^o

< RUO = < RUT - < OUT

= 80^o - 55^o

= 25^o

The graph above shows the cumulative frequency curve of the distribution of marks in a class test. What percentage of the students scored more than 20 marks?

68%

28%

17%

View answer & explanation

Correct answer is B

\(\begin{array}{c|c} \text{class-marks(x)} & \text{(freq. (f)} & \text{cum. freq.}\\\hline 9 & &3.....3\\14 & & 6....3 + 6 = 9\\ 19 & & 9.....9 + 9 = 18\\ 24 & & 3.....18 + 3 = 21\\ 29 & & 2.....21 + 2 = 23\\ 34 & & 2.....23 + 2 = 25\\ & & 25\end{array}\)
% of students scoring more than 20 marks

= \(\frac{7}{25}\) x 100% = 28%
