Answer the next 3 questions:
Comprehension:
The following table represents the rainfall (in mm) of five states from June to September in a year.
| June | July | August | September | |
| JK | 1100 | 1100 | 1000 | 1200 |
| HP | 1100 | 1100 | 1000 | 1300 |
| WB | 1400 | 1300 | 1200 | 1000 |
| GA | 1000 | 1300 | 1500 | 1700 |
| TN | 1200 | 1050 | 1000 | 1100 |
Consider the information and answer questions based on it.
Question 1:
Which state has the lowest average rainfall?
To find the state with the lowest average rainfall, we need to calculate the average rainfall for each state from June to September. The average is calculated by summing the rainfall for the four months and then dividing by 4.
Correct Option: D) TN has the lowest average rainfall of \(1087.5 \text{ mm}\).
Question 2:
Which state shows a gradual increase in its rainfall from June to September?
The question asks to identify the state that experiences a gradual increase in rainfall from June to September. This requires knowledge of the monsoon patterns across different Indian states.
Correct Option: C) GA (Goa) shows a gradual increase in rainfall from June as the Southwest Monsoon strengthens and progresses, typically peaking in July or August before receding.
Question 3:
Which month received the lowest rainfall in the year?
The question asks to identify the month with the lowest rainfall based on a provided bar graph. The approach involves visually inspecting the bar graph to find the shortest bar, which represents the lowest rainfall.
Upon inspecting the bar graph (which is assumed to be provided with the question), the bar corresponding to August is the shortest, indicating the lowest rainfall for that month.
C) August — The bar graph clearly shows that the bar representing rainfall in August is the shortest among all the months, indicating the lowest rainfall.
The difference between a number and the number formed by reversing its digits is 54. What is the difference between the two digits of that number?
We need to represent a two-digit number algebraically. Let the two digits be \(x\) and \(y\). The number can be written as \(10x + y\). The number formed by reversing its digits will be \(10y + x\). We are given the difference between these two numbers, which allows us to form an equation and solve for the difference between the digits.
Let the two-digit number be \(10x + y\), where \(x\) is the tens digit and \(y\) is the units digit. Here, \(x\) must be a non-zero digit (i.e., \(x \in \{1, 2, ..., 9\}\)) and \(y\) can be any digit from 0 to 9 (i.e., \(y \in \{0, 1, ..., 9\}\)).
When the digits are reversed, the new number is \(10y + x\).
The problem states that the difference between the original number and the number formed by reversing its digits is 54. So, we can write:
\[ (10x + y) - (10y + x) = 54 \]Open the parentheses and combine like terms:
\[ 10x + y - 10y - x = 54 \] \[ (10x - x) + (y - 10y) = 54 \] \[ 9x - 9y = 54 \]Factor out 9 from the left side of the equation:
\[ 9(x - y) = 54 \]Now, divide both sides by 9:
\[ x - y = \frac{54}{9} \] \[ x - y = 6 \]The difference between the two digits of that number is 6.
Correct Option: A) 6
To solve this problem, we need to use the concept of average. The average distance covered per day is the total distance covered divided by the total number of days. We are given the distances for the first five days and the desired average for seven days. We need to find the total distance for seven days and then subtract the distance covered in the first five days to find the distance to be covered in the remaining two days.
Correct Option: B) 8
To find the HCF (Highest Common Factor) and LCM (Least Common Multiple) of two numbers, 16 and 24, we can use the prime factorization method. This involves breaking down each number into its prime factors, then identifying common and unique factors to calculate HCF and LCM.
Correct Option: A) 8, 48
The question asks about the primary region in India where saffron is produced on a large scale. This requires knowledge of agricultural geography, specifically the cultivation areas of saffron in India.
Correct Option: C) Jammu and Kashmir is the only region in India where saffron is cultivated on a large commercial scale due to its unique agro-climatic conditions suitable for this delicate crop.
