Take a clock and fix its minute hand at 12.
Record the angle turned through by the minute hand from its original position and the time that has passed, in the following table:
| Time Passed (T) (in minutes) |
(T1) 15 | (T2) 15 | (T3) 45 | (T4) 60 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Angle turned (A) (in degree) | (A1) 90 | (A2) __ | (A3) __ | (A4) __ |
| \(T\over A\) | - | - | - | - |
What do you observe about T and A? Do they increase together? Is \(T\over A\) same every time?
Is the angle turned through by the minute hand directly proportional to the time that has passed? Yes; From the above table, you can also see
T1 : T2 = A1 A2, because
T1 : T2 = 15 30= 1 :2
A1 : A2 = 90 180 = 1 :2
Check if T2: T3 = A2 A3 and T3 : T4 = A3 : A4

We know that, a number ends with 2, 3, 7 or 8 is neverapeIfea square.
The number 2061 ends with 1, so it may or may not be a perfect square.
But 452 = 45\(\times\)45 = 2025, 462 = 46\(\times\)46 = 2116
So, 2061 is not a perfect square
Five numbers for which we can decide by looking at their one's digit that they are not square numbers are 268, 43112, 87547, 1233 and 193.
22.

We have 1008 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7
As the prime factor 7 has no pair.
\(\therefore\)1008 is not a perfect square.
Obviously, if 7 gets a pair, then the number will become a perfect square.
\(\therefore\)1008 x 7
= [2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7] x 7
or 7056 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 7
Thus, 7056 is the required multiple of 1008
which is a perfect square.
Now, \(\sqrt{7056}\) = 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 = 84

25.
Total number of outcomes = 10
(i) ∴ One card is having 7 on it
∴ Number of favourable outcome =
⇒ Probability of getting a card having 7 on it = \(1\over10\)
(ii) ∵ Only one card IS having two digit number (i.e., 10)
∴ Number of favourable outcome =
⇒ Probability of getting a card having 10
(two diizgiit number) on it = 1/10
(iii) ∴ The numbers less than 5 are I, 2, 3,
and 4
∴ Number of favourable outcomes = 4
⇒ Probability of getting a number less then \(5={4\over10}\ or\ {2\over5}\)
(iv) The numbers more than 5 are 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.
∴ Number of favourable outcomes = 5
⇒ Probability of getting a number more than \(5={5\over10}\ or\ {1\over5}\)

(i) The class interval = [Upper limit of a class] - [Lower limit of the same class] = 225 - 200 = 25
(ii) The class 300 - 325 is having the lowest frequency (which is 17).
(iii) The class 375 - 400 is having the highest frequency (which is 120).
(iv) The class intervals 275-300 and 350 - 375 have the same frequency (which is 45).
(v) The lower limit of the class interval 300 - 325 is 300.
(vi) The upper limit of the class interval 275 - 300 is 300.

Given, number is 614125.
So, groups of 614125 are

In the first group, the number 125 ends with 5. We know that, 5 comes at the unit's place of a number only when its cube ends in 5.
So, 5 will come at unit's place.
Now, in the second group, the number is 614
∵ (8)3 = 512 and (9)3=729
and 512 < 614 < 729
So, ten's place of required cube root is 8.
Hence, \(\sqrt [ 3 ]{ 614125 } \) = 85
29.
\((\frac{2}{3})^{-2}\times(\frac{2}{3})^{5}\)=\((\frac{2}{3})^{-2+5}\)=\((\frac{2}{3})^{3}=\frac{(2)^{3}}{(3)^{3}}\)
=\(\frac{2\times2\times2}{3\times3\times3}=\frac{8}{27}\)
30.
The prime factorisation of 1620 is
1620 = 2\(\times\)2\(\times\)3\(\times\)3\(\times\)3\(\times\)3\(\times\)5
By pairing the prime factors, we get
1620 =\(\underline { 2\times 2 } \)\(\times\)\(\underline { 3\times 3 } \)\(\times\)\(\underline { 3\times 3 } \)\(\times\)5
We see that the prime factor 5 has no pair. So, if we divide 1620 by 5, then we get
1620 ÷ 5 =\(\underline { 2\times 2 } \)\(\times\)\(\underline { 3\times 3 } \)\(\times\)\(\underline { 3\times 3 } \)
Now each factor has a pair. Therefore, 1620 ÷ 5 = 324 is a perfect square. Thus, the required smallest number is 5
Hence, \(\sqrt { 324 } \)= 2\(\times\)3\(\times\)3= 18
31.
\(\begin{matrix} \quad \quad 1\quad 2\quad A \\ +\quad 6\quad A\quad B \\ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \\ \quad A\quad 0\quad 9 \\ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \end{matrix}\)
Here, we have two letters A and B whose values are to be found.
Studying the addition in ten's column. We have 2 + A and we get 0 from this. Therefore, A must be 8, since A will be one digit number, then the puzzle becomes
\(\begin{matrix} \quad \quad 1\quad 2\quad 8 \\ +\quad 6\quad 8\quad B \\ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \\ \quad 8\quad 0\quad 9 \\ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \end{matrix}\)
Now, studying the addition in one's column. We have 8 + B and we get 9 from this. So, B must be 1.
Thus, the puzzle is solved as shown below:
\(\begin{matrix} \quad \quad 1\quad 2\quad 8 \\ +\quad 6\quad 8\quad 1 \\ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \\ \quad 8\quad 0\quad 9 \\ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \end{matrix}\)
Hence, A = 8 and B = 1.

We observe about T and A that they increase together and is \(T\over A\) same every time.
Yes; The angle turned by the minute hand is directly proportional to the time that has passed.
On checking, we find that
T2 : T3 = A1 : A3 = 2: 3
and T3 : T4 = A3 : A4 = 3 : 4
