Resolving 9720 into prime factors, we get
9720 =2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 5
The prime factors 3 and 5 are not forming a group of three (triples).
So, 9720 is not a perfect cube.
In prime factorisation of 9720, two factors 3 and 5 remain ungrouped.
So, if we divide the number by 3 x 3 x 5, then the prime factorisation of the quotient will not contain 45.
∴ 9720 + 45 = 216 =(6)3
= 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3
Hence, the smallest number by which 9720 should be divided to get a perfect cube is 45.

Draw a line parallel to BC from 0 which cuts AB at E

Thus, DC II EB and BC II DE
which gives a parallelogram DCBE.
∴ DC = EB = 20 cm and BC = DE = 10 cm
Now, in ΔADE, we have
AD=DE =10 cm
ㄥDAE = ㄥDEA = 60°
So, by angle sum property in ΔADE, we have
ㄥDAE + ㄥAED + ㄥEDA = 180°
or ㄥEDA = 180° - (ㄥDAE + ㄥAED)
= 180° - (60° + 60°)
= 180° - 120° = 60°
So, ADE is an equilateral triangle.
Now, AD=DE=EA=10 cm
AB=AE + EB
or x = 10 + 20 = 30 cm
So, the value of x is 30 cm.

Let the number of plates on the table be y and the number of puris be x.
Then, according to the first condition of the problem
4(y - 1) = x ...(1)
and, according to the second condition of the
problem
3y + 1= x ... (2)
From (1) and (2), we have
4(y - 1) = 3y + 1
⇒ 4y - 4 = 3y + 1
⇒ 4y - 3y = 1 + 4
⇒ y=5
Put y = 5 in (1), we get
x = 4(5) - 4 = 20 - 4 = 16
Hence, the number of plates and number of puris on the table are 5 and 16 respectively.

The highest observation = 62
The lowest observation = 17
One of the class intervals = 40-48
∴ Class size = Upper class limit - Lower class limit
= 48 - 40 = 8
∴ The appropriate classes can be:
16-24, 24-32, 32-40, 40-48, 48-56, 56-64
Thus, the frequency distribution table for the above data can be shown using the Tally marks
