\nThe following graph shows the temperature of a patient in a hospital, recorded every hour.
\n
\n(a) What was the patient\u2019s temperature at 1 pm?
\n(b) When was the patient\u2019s temperature 38.5\u00b0C?
\n(c) The patient\u2019s temperature was the same two times during the period given. What were the two times?
\n(d) What was the temperature at 1:30 pm? How did you arrive at your answer?
\n(e) During which periods did the patient\u2019s temperature show an upward trend?
\nSolution:
\n(a) The patient\u2019s temperature at 1 pm was 36.5\u00b0C
\n(b) The patient\u2019s temperature was 38.5\u00b0C at 12:00 noon.
\n(c) The patients temperature was 36.5\u00b0C at 1 pm and 2 pm.
\n(d) The temperature at 1:30 pm was 36.5\u00b0C. We have taken the mid value of 1 pm. and 2 pm, i.e., 1:30 p.m and proceed perpendicularly upwards to meet the horizontal line showing 36.5\u00b0C.
\n(e) During 9 am to 10 am and 10 am to 11 am, the temperature showed upwards trend.<\/p>\n
\nThe following line graph shows the yearly sales figures for a manufacturing company.
\n
\n(a) What were the sales in (i) 2002 (ii) 2006?
\n(b) What were the sales in (i) 2003 (ii) 2005?
\n(c) Compute the difference between the sales in 2002 and 2006.
\n(d) In which year was there the greatest difference between the sales as compared to its previous year?
\nSolution:
\n(a) The sales in the year 2002 was \u20b9 4 crore and in the year 2006 was \u20b9 8 crore.
\n(b) The sales in the year 2003 was \u20b9 7 crore and in 2005 was \u20b9 10 crore.
\n(c) Sales in 2002 = \u20b9 4 crore
\nSales in 2006 = \u20b9 8 crores
\nDifference = \u20b9 (8 – 4) crore = \u20b9 4 crore.
\n(d) The greatest difference between the sales was in the year 2005, as compared to previous year.<\/p>\n
\nFor an experiment in Botany, two different plants, plant A and plant B, were grown under similar laboratory conditions. Their heights were measured at the end of each week for 3 weeks. The results are shown by the following graph.
\n
\n(a) How high was plant A after (i) 2 weeks (ii) 3 weeks
\n(b) How high was plant B after (i) 2 weeks (ii) 3 weeks
\n(c) How much did plant A grow during the 3rd week?
\n(d) How much did plant B grow from the end of the 2nd week to the end of the 3rd week?
\n(e) During which week did plant A grow most?
\n(f) During which week did plant B grow least?
\n(g) Were the two plants of the same height during any week shown here? Specify.
\nSolution:
\n(a) The height of plant A (i) after 2 weeks was 7 cm (ii) after 3 weeks was 9 cm.
\n(b) The height of plant B (i) after 2 weeks was 7 cm (ii) after 3 weeks was 10 cm.
\n(c) Plant A grew 7 cm to 9 cm i.e, 2 cm.
\n(d) Plant B grew 7 cm to 10 cm i.e., 3 cm.
\n(e) Plant A grew most in a 2nd week i.e., 5 cm.
\n(f) Plant B grew the least in a first week i.e., 1 cm.
\n(g) Yes, the two plants grew the same height at the end of 2nd week i.e., 7 cm.<\/p>\n
\nThe following graph shows the temperature forecast and the actual temperature for each day of a week.
\n
\n(a) On which days was the forecast temperature the same as the actual temperature?
\n(b) What was the maximum forecast temperature during the week?
\n(c) What was the minimum actual temperature during the week?
\n(d) On which day did the actual temperature differ the most from the forecast temperature?
\nSolution:
\n(a) On Tuesday, Friday and Sunday, the forecast temperature was the same as the actual temperature i.e., 20\u00b0C, 15\u00b0C and 35\u00b0C respectively.
\n(b) The forecast maximum temperature during the week was 35\u00b0C
\n(c) The minimum actual temperature during the week was 17.5\u00b0C
\n(d) On Thursday, the actual temperature differed the most from the forecast temperature
\ni.e., 22.5\u00b0C – 15\u00b0C = 7.5\u00b0C.<\/p>\n
