5 DATA HANDLING
Exercise 5.1
Q.1. For which of these would you use a histogram to show

the data?
(a) The number of letters for different areas in a
postman’s bag.
(b) The height of competitors in an athletics meet.
(c) The number of cassettes produced by 5 companies.
(d) The number of passengers boarding trains from
7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m at a station.
Give reasons for each.
Ans. (a) Different areas A1, A2, A3 ……… has a certain number
of letters. There is no class interval exist. Thus, it is
better to represent the data by a bar graph than by a
histogram.
(b) The height of competitors lies between a certain range.

So, class interval exist. Hence, we use a histogram to
represent the data.
(c) There is no class interval. There is a name of 5

companies. So, we can not show the data by a
histogram.
(d) Class intervals like 7 am – 9 am, 9 am – 11 am, 11 am –

1 pm etc. are necessary to show the number of
passengers boarding to trains during that time intervals.
Hence, we can use a histogram to show the data.

Exercise 5.2
Q.1. A survey was made to find the type of

music that a certain group of young
people liked in a city. Adjoining pie
chart shows the findings of this survey.

From this pie chart answer the following:

(i) If 20 people liked classical music, how many young
people were surveyed?
(ii) Which type of music is liked by the maximum
number of people?
(iii) If a cassette company were to make 1000 CD’s, how
many of each type would they make?
Ans. (i) Number of people who liked classical music = 20.
Percentage of people who liked classical music = 10%
Let x young people were surveyed.
As per condition
20
⇒ = 10%
x
20 10
⇒ =
x 100
⇒ 10x = 20 × 100
2000
∴ x = = 200 people
10
Hence, 200 young people were surveyed.
(ii) Maximum number of people like ‘Light music’.
(iii) 1 Number of semi classical CD’s = 20% of 1000
20
= × 1000 = 200
100
Number of classical music CD’s = 10% of 1000
10
= × 1000 = 100
100
30
Number of folk music CD’s = × 1000 = 300

Number of light music CD’s = × 1000 = 400
100
Q.2. A group of 360 people were asked to vote for their
favourite season from the three seasons rainy, winter
and summer.
(i) Which season got the most votes?
(ii) Find the central angle of each sector.
(iii) Draw a pie chart to show this information.
Ans. (i) Winter season got the most votes.

Value of item
(ii) Central angle = × 360°
Total value
90
∴ Central angle for summer season = × 360° = 90°
360
120
Central angle for rainy season = × 360° = 120°
360
Central angle for winter season
150
= × 360° = 150°

Q.3. Draw a pie chart showing the following information. The

table shows the colours preferred by a group of people.
Ans. We know that circle make 360° angle.
Pie chart :
Q.4. The adjoining pie chart gives the marks scored in an

examination by a student in Hindi, English,
Mathematics, Social Science and Science. If the total
marks obtained by the students were 540, answer the
following questions.
©
©
(i) In which subject did the student score 105 marks?

(Hint: for 540 marks, the central angle = 360°. So,
for 105 marks, what is the central angle?)
(ii) How many more marks were obtained by the
student in Mathematics than in Hindi?
(iii) Examine whether the sum of the marks obtained in
Social Science and Mathematics is more than that in
Science and Hindi. (Hint: Just study the central
angles).
Ans. (i) For 540 marks, the central angle = 360°

(Circle make 360° angle)
360°
For 1 mark, the central angle =
540
360°
So, for 105 marks, the central angle = × 105 = 70°
540
from the pie chart we know that central angle for
‘Hindi’ is 70°.
Hence, the student score 105 marks in Hindi.
(ii) ∵ For 360° marks obtained = 540
540
For 1° mark obtained =
360°
540
So, for 90° marks obtained = × 90°
360°
⇒ Marks obtained in Mathematics = 135
⇒ Marks obtained in Hindi = 105
Hence, difference in marks = 135 – 105 = 30
©

(iii) Marks obtained in Social Science

Total marks × central angle of social science
=
Total central angle
540
= × 65° = 97.5
360°
540
⇒ Marks obtained in Science = × 80° = 120
360°
540°
Mark obtained in Mathematics = × 90° = 135°
360°
Total marks obtained in (S. Science + Math)
= 97.5 + 135 = 232.5
Total marks obtained in (Science + Hindi)
= 120 + 105 = 225
Hence, the sum of the marks obtained in Social Science and
Mathematics is more than that in Science and Hindi.

Q.3. Find the.

(a) Probability of the pointer stopping on D in
(Question 1-(a))?
(b) Probability of getting an ace from a well shuffled
deck of 52 playing cards?
(c) Probability of getting a red apple. (See figure below)
Ans. (a) Number of possible outcomes for

pointer stopping on D = 1
Total number of outcomes of the experiment = 5

1
Hence, probability of the pointer stopping on D =
5
(b) Total number of aces = 4
Total number of outcomes = 52
4 1
Probability of getting an ace = =
52 13
(c) Number of red apples = 4
Total number of outcomes (apples) = 7
4
⇒ ∴ Probability of getting a red apple =
7
Q.4. Numbers 1 to 10 are written on ten separate slips (one
number on one slip), kept in a box and mixed well. One
slip is chosen from the box without looking into it. What
is the probability of.
(i) getting a number 6?
©
©
(ii) getting a number less than 6?

(iii) getting a number greater than 6?
(iv) getting a 1-digit number?
Ans. (i) Number of slip written 6 on it = 1
So, total number of outcomes (slips) = 10
1
∴ Probability of getting a number 6 =
10
(ii) Number less than 6 are : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 = 5
So, total number of slips (outcomes) = 10
∴ Probability of getting a number less than 6
5 1
= =
10 2
(iii) Numbers greater than 6 are : 7, 8, 9, 10 = 4 numbers
∴ Probability of getting a number greater than 6
4 2
= =
10 5
(iv) One digit numbers are : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9
= 9 numbers
So, total number of outcomes = 10
9
∴ Probability of 1-digit number =
10
Q.5. If you have a spinning wheel with 3 green sectors, 1 blue
sector and 1 red sector, what is the probability of getting
a green sector? What is the probability of getting a non
blue sector?
Ans. Total number of outcomes of the experiment = 5.
Number of green sectors = 3
Number of non blue sectors = 3 green + 1 red = 4
