to pegs at each corner of a square shaped grass field of 20 m length, to graze in
his farm. But tying with rope sometimes results in injuries to his horses, so he
decided to build fence around the area so that each horse can graze.

37. Vocational training complements traditional education by providing
practical skills and hands-on experience. While education equips
individuals with a broad knowledge base, vocational training focuses on
job-specific skills, enhancing employability thus making the student self-
reliant. Keeping this in view, a teacher made the following table giving
the frequency distribution of students/adults undergoing vocational
training from the training institute.

30/3/1/CD1BA/22 Page 21 P.T.O.

 Age 15-19 20-24 25-29 30-34 35-39 40-44 45-49 50-54

From the above answer the following questions :
(i) What is the lower limit of the modal class of the above data ? 1
(ii) (a) Find the median class of the above data. 2
OR
(b) Find the number of participants of age less than 50 years who
undergo vocational training. 2
(iii) Give the empirical relationship between mean, median and mode. 1

38. Teaching Mathematics through activities is a powerful approach that

enhances students’ understanding and engagement. Keeping this in mind,
Ms. Mukta planned a prime number game for class 5 students. She
announces the number 2 in her class and asked the first student to
multiply it by a prime number and then pass it to second student. Second
student also multiplied it by a prime number and passed it to third
student. In this way by multiplying to a prime number, the last student
got 173250.
Now, Mukta asked some questions as given below to the students :
(i) What is the least prime number used by students ? 1
(ii) (a) How many students are in the class ? 2
OR
(b) What is the highest prime number used by students ? 2
(iii) Which prime number has been used maximum times ? 1
