(a)Capacity of the swimming pool = l\(\times\)b\(\times\) h
= 200\(\times\)50\(\times\)2 = 20000 m3
Since, water level drop by 2 cm
i.e h' =\(\left( 2-\frac { 2 }{ 100 } \right) \) m = (2-0.02)m = 1.98m
∴ After dropping water level, capacity of the swimming pool= l \(\times\) b \(\times\) h'
= 200\(\times\) 50\(\times\)1.98 = 19800 m3
∴ Cubic metre of water lost on that day
= 20000 m3 - 19800 m3
= 200 m3

In rhombus ABCD,
AO = OP + PA = 2 + 2 ⇒ AO = 4
and OB = OQ + QB = 2 + 1 ⇒ OB = 3
In ΔOAB,
(AB)2 =(OA)2 + (OB)2
[by Pythagoras theorem]
⇒ (AB)2 =(4)2 + (3)2 = 25
⇒ AB=5
Since, AB is diameter of semi-circle.
∴ Radius = \(\frac { 5 }{ 2 } \)=2.5
Hence, radius of the semi-circle is 2.5. The value depict here is participation unity and creativity.

(i) Here, maximum height of the bar is 32 for the interval 4 - 5, so the maximum number of students watching TV is 32 and they watch TV for 4 to 5 h.
(ii) It is clear from the given graph that, students watch TV for 1 - 2, 2 - 3, 3 - 4, 4 - 5, 5 - 6 and 6 - 7 h. So, students who watch TV for less than 4 h lie in the intervals 1 - 2, 2 - 3 and 3 - 4. Also, their corresponding frequencies are 4,8 and 22.
\(\therefore\) Number of students watching TV for less than 4 h
= 4 +8 + 22 =34
(iii) Students who watch TV for more than 5 h lie in the intervals 5 - 6 and 6 - 7. Also, their corresponding frequencies are 8 and 6.
\(\therefore\) Number of students watching TV for more than 5 h
= 8 + 6 = 14.
11.
we have 54x2 - 96y2 =6[9x2 - 16y2]
=6[(3x)2 - (4y)2]
= 6[(3x + 4y)(3x - 4y)]
[Using a2 - b2 = (a + b)(a - b)]
Thus, 54x2- 96y2 = 6 (3x + 4y)(3x - 4y)

24 (x2yz + xy2z + xyz2)
\(=2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times[(x \times x \times y \times z)+(x \times y \times y \times z)+(x \times y \times z \times z)] \)
\(=2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times x \times y \times z \times(x+y+z)=8 \times 3 \times x y z \times(x+y+z)\)
Therefore, 24 (x2yz + xy2z + xyz2) ÷ 8xyz
\(=\frac{8 \times 3 \times x y z \times(x+y+z)}{8 \times x y z}=3 \times(x+y+z)=3(x+y+z)\)
Alternately,24(x2yz + xy2z + xyz2) ÷ 8xyz
= \(\frac{24 x^{2} y z}{8 x y z}+\frac{24 x y^{2} z}{8 x y z}+\frac{24 x y z^{2}}{8 x y z}\)
= 3x + 3y + 3z = 3(x + y + z)
37.
There is 5% increase in population every year, so every new year has new population. Thus, we can say it is increasing in compounded form.
Population in the beginning of 1998 = 20000 (we treat this as the principal for the 1st year)
Increase at 5% = \(=\frac{5}{100} \times 20000=1000\)
Population in 1999 = 20000 + 1000 = 21000
Increase at 5% \(=\frac{5}{100} \times 21000=1050\)
Population in 2000 = 21000 + 1050
= 22050
Increase at 5% = \(\frac{5}{100} \times 22050\)
= 1102.5
At the end of 2000 the population = 22050 + 1102.5 = 23152.5
or, Population at the end of 2000 = 20000 \(\left(1+\frac{5}{100}\right)^{3}\)
\(=20000 \times \frac{21}{20} \times \frac{21}{20} \times \frac{21}{20}\)
= 23152.5
So, the estimated population = 23153.

RHS = (9982)2 - (18)2
= (9982 + 18)(9982 -18)
[using identity a2 - b2 = (a + p)(a -b)]
= 10000 x 9964
LHS = 10000 x x
Since, it is given that
LHS = RHS
10000 x x =10000 x 9964
\(\Rightarrow\) \(x={10000 \times 9964 \over 10000}=9964\)
39.
Let the numerator be x. Then, denominator = x + 8
So, rationl number = \(\frac { x }{ x+8 } \)
According to the question, \(\frac { x+17 }{ (x+8)-1 } =\frac { 3 }{ 2 } \Rightarrow \frac { x+17 }{ (x+8)-1 } =\frac { 3 }{ 2 } \Rightarrow \frac { x+17 }{ x+7 } =\frac { 3 }{ 2 } \)
\(\Rightarrow\) 3 (x + 7) = 2 (x +17 [by cross-multiplication]
\(\Rightarrow\) 3x + 21 = 2x + 34
\(\Rightarrow\) 3x - 2x = 34 - 21 [transposing 2x to LHS and 21 to RHS]
\(\Rightarrow\) x = 13
Rational number = \(\frac { x }{ x+8 } =\frac { 13 }{ 13+8 } \frac { 13 }{ 21 } \)
Hence, the rational number is \(\frac { 13 }{ 21 } \)
40.
According to the question, on cutting the cylinder along its height, we get a rectangular sheet of width 33 cm which is height of cylinder. So, the height of cylinder, h = 33 cm. Let radius of cylinder be r cm.
Given, lateral surface area of cylinder = 4224 cm2
∴ 2\(\pi\)r = 4224 ⇒ \(2\times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times r\times 33\)=4224
⇒ \(r=\frac { 7\times 4224 }{ 2\times 22\times 33 } =\frac { 7\times 96 }{ 33 } =\frac { 7\times 32 }{ 11 } cm\)
Also, on cutting the hollow cylinder, the perimeter of base becomes the length of the rectangular sheet
∴ Length of rectangular sheet = Perimeter of circular base
= 2\(\pi\)r
\(2\times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times \frac { 7\times 32 }{ 11 } \) = 128 cm
and breadth of rectangular sheet = 33 cm
∴ Perimeter of rectangular sheet = 2(1 + b) = 2(128 +33) = 2\(\times\)161 =322 cm
