grandfather for general checkup. From there he visited three places – School, Library and Police
station. Affter returning to his village, he plotted a graph by taking Hospital as origin and marked
three places on the graph as per his direction of movement and distance. The graph is shown below.

On the basis of above information, answer the following questions.

i) What are the coordinates of School and it lies in which quadrant? (1m)
ii) What is abscissa and ordinate of Police station? (1m)
iii) What are the coordinates of Library and it lies in which quadrant? (1m)
iv) Find the distance between the School and Police station? (1m)

38. Once four students from Class IX were selected for planting flower plants in the School garden. The
selected students were Pradeep, Raju, Deepak, and Rene. As shown, PQ and MN are parallel lines of
the plants. Pradeep planted a sunflower plants at point P, then Raju planted another sunflower at
point Q. Further, Deepak was called to plant any flowering plant at point M and he planted a
marigold there. Now it was Renu’s turn and she was told to plant a different flowering plant from the
three already planted. So she planted a rose plant at point N. There was a water pipeline XY which
intersects PQ and MN at points A and B, XBN = 60
