The sum of first n odd natural numbers is n2.
e.g. 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 = 16 = 42
1 + 3 + 5 = 9 = 32
\(\Rightarrow\) 1 + 3 = 4 = 22
2.
Given, number is 150.
Now, prime factorisation of 150
150 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 5
The prime factors of 150 do not appear in group of triples.

= \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 } \times \left( \frac { -3 }{ 7 } \right) -\frac { 1 }{ 4 } +\frac { 1 }{ 14 } \times \frac { 2 }{ 5 } \)
= \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 } \times \left( \frac { -3 }{ 7 } \right) +\frac { 1 }{ 14 } \times \frac { 2 }{ 5 } -\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \) (Using commutativity)
= \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 } \left[ \frac { -3 }{ 7 } +\frac { 1 }{ 14 } \right] -\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \) (using distributivity)
= \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 } \left[ \frac { -6+1 }{ 14 } \right] -\frac { 1 }{ 4 } =\frac { 2 }{ 5 } \times \frac { -5 }{ 14 } -\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \)

We have, a parallelogram WISH.
Here, WH Il lS and IW II HS
∴ ㄥWIH = ㄥIHS = 35° [alternate angle]
Similarly, ㄥHIS = ㄥIHW = 25° [alternate angle]
Now, by using angle sum property of a triangle in ΔWOH, we get
ㄥWOH + ㄥOWH + ㄥOHW = 180°
⇒ 110° + ㄥOWH + 25° =180°
[∵ ㄥOHW = ㄥIHW]
⇒ ㄥOWH =180° - (110° + 25°)
= 180° -135° = 45° = ㄥSWH
In ΔOHS, we have
ㄥHOS = 180° -110° = 70°
ㄥOHS = 35° [proved]
∴ 70° + 35° + ㄥOSH =180°
⇒ ㄥOSH =180° -105° =75°.
33.
First, we draw a number line and mark a point 0 on it to represent zero. Now, find the points A and B on the number line representing the positive integers 5 and - 5, respectively (as shown below).
Now, divide the segments OA into three equal parts such that AP = PQ = QO.
By construction
Q is one third of OA. Therefore, Q represents the rational number \({5\over3}\)
Further, B represents -5 on the number line. Now, divide OB into three equal parts, such that BS = SR = RO and OR represents one third distance of OB. Therefore, R represents the rational number - \({5\over3}\)
34.
We know that,
Central angle of a component = \((\frac{Component\quad value}{sum\quad of \quad the\quad component\quad values}\times 360)^o\)
Here, total amount = Rs 7200,
Cntral angle for an item = \((\frac{Amount\quad spent\quad on\quad the\quad item}{Total\quad amount}\times 360)^o\)
The central angles of the sectors representing different items are computed in the following table:
| Items | Amount spent (in Rs) | Central anqles |
| Clothing | 600 | \((\frac{600}{7200}\times 360)^o =30^o\) |
| Food | 4000 | \((\frac{4000}{7200}\times 360)^o =200^o\) |
| House rent | 1200 | \((\frac{1200}{7200}\times 360)^o =60^o\) |
| Education | 400 | \((\frac{400}{7200}\times 360)^o =20^o\) |
| Miscellaneous | 1000 | \((\frac{1000}{7200}\times 360)^o =50^o\) |
| Total | 7200 | 360o |
Now, to construct the pie chart representing the above data, we follow the following steps:
Step I Draw a circle of an appropriate radius.
Step II Draw a vertical radius of the circle drawn in Step I.
Step III Choose the largest central angle. Here, largest central angle is of 200°. Draw a sector with central angle 200° in such a way that its one radius coincides with the radius drawn in Step II and another radius is in its clockwise direction.
Step IV Construct other sectors representing other items in clockwise sense in descending order of magnitudes of their central angles except the sector representing miscellaneous expenses. This sector is to be drawn in the last.
Step V Shade the sectors, so obtained by different designs and label them as shown in figure given below to obtain the required pie chart.

Central angle for oceans = \((\frac{Value\quad of\quad the\quad component}{Sum\quad of\quad the\quad components}\times 360)^o\)
For pacific ocean = 40% = \(\frac{40}{100}\times 360^o\) = 144o
For atlantic ocean = 30% = \(\frac{30}{100}\times 360^o\) = 108o
For Indian ocean = 20% = \(\frac{20}{100}\times 360^o\) = 72o
For others ocean = 10% = \(\frac{10}{100}\times 360^o\) = 36o
On the basis of above data we can draw the following pie chart:

We have, two parallelograms ABDH and EFGC.
ㄥABD = ㄥAHD = 130°
[opposite angles of a parallelogram]
ㄥGHD = 180° - ㄥAHD = 180° - 130°
⇒ 500= ㄥGHO
Also, ㄥEFG + ㄥFGC = 180°
[adjacent angles of a parallelogram]
⇒ 30° + ㄥFGC = 180°
⇒ ㄥFGC =180° - 30° =150°
∴ ㄥHGC =180° - ㄥFGC =180° -150°
=300 = ㄥHGO
Now, in ΔHGO, by using angle sum property,
ㄥOHG + ㄥHGO + ㄥHOG =180°
⇒ 50°+ 30°+ x0 =180°
⇒ x0 =180° - 80° = 100°
40.
Let the required number be x.
Then, according to the question
x3 = x ...(1) and x2≠x ...(2)
From (1), x3 -x = 0
⇒ x(x2 - 1) = 0
⇒ x = 0, ± 1
⇒ x = 0,1,-1
If x = 0, then x2 = x.
∴ x = is inadmissible
If x = 1 then x2 = x.
∴ x = 1 is inadmissible
If x = - 1, then x2 = (- 1)2 = 1 ≠ x(= - 1)
Hence, the required number is - 1.
41.
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.
42.
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
