(b) A(-1, 3) , B(4, 2) and C(3, -2) are the vertices of a triangle.

(i) Find the coordinates of the centroid G of the triangle.

(ii) Find the equation of the line through G and parallel to AC.

(c) Prove that

ICSE Class 10 Maths Qs Paper 2017 Solution-33

Answer:

(a)

ICSE Class 10 Maths Qs Paper 2017 Solution-34

∠DAE = ∠BCD (ext. ∠ of a cyclic quad. is equal to interior opp.∠ )

(i) ∠DAE = ∠BCD = 700

(ii) ∠BOD = 2 ∠BCD = 140ᵒ (angle at centre is twice the angle on other segment)

(iii) In ΔOBD, OB = OD (radii of circle)

∴ ∠OBD = ∠ODB = 𝑥ᵒ (say) (at least 2 correct reasons)

𝑥ᵒ + 𝑥ᵒ + 140ᵒ = 180ᵒ (sum of angles of a triangle = 1800)

∴ ∠OBD = 𝑥ᵒ = 20ᵒ

Use a graph paper to draw an ogive for the above distribution. (Use a scale of 2 cm = ₹ 50 on x-axis and 2 cm = 10 workers on y-axis). Use your ogive to estimate:

(i) the median wage of the workers.

(ii) the lower quartile wage of workers.

(iii) the number of workers who earn more than ₹ 625 daily.

Answer:

(a) Let age of Vivek be x years

And of Amit 47 – x years

∴ x (47 – x) = 550

47x – x2 = 550

Or

x2 – 47x + 550 = 0

(x – 25) (x – 22) = 0

∴ x = 25 or age = 22 (not possible)

∴ Vivek’s age is x = 25 years, and Amit’s age is 47 – 25 = 22 years

(b) c.f: 2, 8, 20, 38, 62, 75,80

(For smooth S curve plotted with upper boundries)

(i) Median =Nth/2 term. = 40th term = ` 605

(ii) Q1 = N/4th term = 20th term = ` 550

(iii) No. of workers who earn more than ` 625 = 80-52 = 28(±3)
