"The longest time is 20 min". Explain why he MIGHT not be correct?
I wrote down it is hardly possible to have 20 as the longest time because there are only 2 people between the interval 16 and 2o.

Why he might have not been correct was actually the fact that there was an interval from 16-20. So it was not necessary that the longest time was 20, it could also have been any time within the interval i.e 17, 18 or 19 instead of 20.

i dnt thnk rhombus us mein fit ho rha tha it was equilateral triangle no only tri and no iscols ........(n) .
pehle they said k two polygons are kept side by side.. to if they're talking about solid figures, how can you fit in a rhombus? is logic ko maddenazar rakh kar, i wrote tri.. :rolleyes: but i didn't mention eq or isc.. does it matter? o_O

I wrote:
The graph shows that 1 student did not finish at 20min, so the maximum time should be more then 20 mins!
I really hope this is correct. otherwise my maths paper is going form great to grave !o_O
the class boudary was less than equals to twenty.. we dont know for sure if the max time for that class was twenty or less than that.. your expl makes the statement change like this k he WAS not correct.. but the question was he MIGHT not be correct...

In the question where another regular polygon shape exactly fitted onto point B, most people wrote Equilateral Triangle but some others including myself wrote Rhombus, since Rhombus is also a regular sided polygon. Is it correct? As it's vertex does fit onto point B. Or have I lost that 1 mark? :p
you have lost it. :p the angles of the required polygon were 60 each and hence an equilateral triangle was the only answer that fit.

No it doesn't matter. You will get full marks.

I mentioned the fact that it was a limit which was between 16 till 20. And if the limit was between 16 till 20 its not necessary that the last guy finished in 20 seconds .. he could have finished at any time between 16-19 as well!

Guys since the student wrote that all had finished in less than 20. I reasoned that the total number of participants are not given so it is unwise to conclude that all finished before 20?
