Question : Study the given table and answer the question that follows.
The average number of children per family is :
Option 1: 1.47
Option 2: 1.59
Option 3: 1.23
Option 4: 1.72
Correct Answer: 1.59
Solution : Average number of children per family $=\frac{\sum{\text{Number of children}\times\text{Number of families}}}{\sum{\text{Total number of families}}}$ $=\frac{0\times4+1\times22+2\times15+3\times6+4\times2}{4+22+15+6+2}$ $=\frac{22+30+18+8}{49}$ $=\frac{78}{49}$ $=1.59$ Hence, the correct answer is 1.59.

Solution : Let's check the given options – First option: (25, 49); 25 = 52 and 49 = 72 Second option: (121, 169); 121 = 112 and 169 = 132 Third option: (7, 169); 169 = 7 is not a perfect square
Question : One side of a rhombus is 13 cm and one of its diagonals is 24 cm. What is the area (in cm2) of the rhombus?
Option 1: 120
Option 2: 90
Option 3: 30
Option 4: 60
Correct Answer: 120
Solution : Side of the rhombus = 13 cm One of the diagonals = 24 cm $side^2 = (\frac{d_1}{2})^2+(\frac{d_2}{2})^2$ ⇒ $13^2=(\frac{24}{2})^2+(\frac{d_2}{2})^2$ ⇒ $169=144+(\frac{d_2}{2})^2$ ⇒ $(\frac{d_2}{2})^2=25$ ⇒ $\frac{d_2}{2}=5$ ⇒ $d_2=10$ Area of a rhombus = $\frac{d_1 × d_2}{2}$ = $\frac{24\times10}{2}$ = $120\ cm^2$ Hence, the correct answer Is
