Section – E (Case study-based questions)
36. The heart rate is one of the ‘vital signs’ of health in the human body. It measures
the number of mes per minute that the heart contracts or beats. The speed of
the heartbeat varies because of physical ac vity, threats to safety and emo onal
responses. The res ng heart rate refers to the heart rate when a person is
relaxed while a normal heart rate does not guarantee that a person is free of
health problems. It is a useful benchmark for iden fying a range of health issues.
A er the age of 10 years the heart rate of a person should be between 60 and
100 beats per minute while they are res ng.
Thirty women were examined by doctors of AIIMS and the number of heart
beats per minute were recorded and summarised as follows.
No: of heart beats No: of
per minute women
65-68 2
68-71 4
71-74 3
74-77 8
77-80 7
80-83 4
83-86 2
Based on the above information, answer the following questions

(i) What is the mean heart beats per minute for these women?
(ii) What is the upper limit of median value of heart beats per minute for these
women?
(iii) What is the lower limit of mode value of heart beats per minute for these women?
OR
How many women are having heartbeat in the range of 68-77?
37. When a baby swing is started the first swing (one way) is a 30 inch arc.As the
swing slows down ,each successive arc is 1.5 inch less than the previous one.
(i) Find the length of the tenth swing?
(ii) How far the swing has travelled during the 10 swings?
(iii) After how many swings will it stop swinging?
38. Ajay,Bhigu and Collin have been friends since childhood. They always want to sit in a
row in the classroom. But the teacher doesn’t allow them and rotate the seats row wise
everyday.Bhigu is very good in math. He considers the centre of the class as origin and
marks their position on a paper in a coordinate system. One day Bhigu made the
following diagram for their seating position.
(i) What is the distance of point A from the origin?
(ii) What is the distance between A and B?
OR
What is the distance between B and C?
(iii) Point D lies on the line segment between points A and B such that
AD:DB=4:3.What are the coordinates of the point D?
