Sulfur dioxide is a major air pollutant and has significant impacts upon human health. In addition, the concentration
of sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere can influence the habitat suitability for plant communities, as well as animal
life. Sulfur dioxide emissions are a precursor to acid rain and atmospheric particulates.
To find out the concentration of SO 2 in the air (in parts per million, i.e. ppm), the data was collected for 30
localities in a delhi and is presented below:

Concentration of SO 2 (in ppm) Frequency

0.00-0.04 4
0.04-0.08 9
0.08-0.12 9
0.12-0.16 2
0.16-0.20 4
0.20-0.24 2
Based on the above information, answer the following questions.
(i) What is the mean concentration of SO 2 in the air?
(ii) What is the lower limit of median value of concentration of SO 2 in the air?
(iii) Find the median value concentration of SO 2 in the air.
(iv) How many localities are having SO 2 in range 0.04-0.16 ppm ?

37. Ajay, Bhigu and Colin are fast friend since childhood. They always want to sit in a row in the classroom . But
teacher doesn’t allow them and rotate the seats row-wise everyday. Bhigu is very good in maths and he does
distance calculation everyday. He consider the centre of class as origin and marks their position on a paper in a
co-ordinate system. One day Bhigu make the following diagram of their seating position.

(i) What is the distance of point A from origin ?

(ii) What is the distance between A and B ?
(iii) What is the distance between B and C ?
(iv) A point D lies on the line segment between points A and B such that AD : DB = 4 : 3 . What are the the
coordinates of point D ?
