Q3. A ________ becomes a _____ if we draw a line joining mid-points of the tops of all rectangles
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

A frequency polygon is a plane bounded by straight lines, usually four or more lines. Frequency polygon is an alternative to histogram and is also derived from histogram itself. A frequency polygon can be fitted to a histogram for studying the shape of the curve. The simplest method of drawing a frequency polygon is to join the midpoints of the topside of the consecutive rectangles of the histogram.

Q4. Farmers cannot retain the produce for a long time they have to sell it immediately. Which defect of agriculture is shown in this system
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Most of the Indian farmers are very poor and thus have no capacity to wait for better price of his produce in the absence of proper credit facilities. Farmers often have to go for even distress sale of their output to the village moneylenders-cum-traders at a very poor price.

Q5.

At a distance L=400m from the traffic lights the brakes are applied to a locomotive moving at a velocity v=54km/hr. Determine the position of locomotive relative to the traffic lights 1 minute after the application of the brakes if its acceleration is -0.3m/s​​​​​​2.


Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Initial velocity u = 54 km/h = 15 m/s

Let Final velocity v = 0

Acceleration a = -0.3 m/s​​​​​​2

Time taken to stop = t

Using 

=> 

=> t = 50 sec

It means it has been stopped before 1 minutes.

So distance covered in 1 minute 


=> 

=> s = 375 m

Position of locomotive relative to the traffic lights= 400-375 = 25 m
