balls numbered 1 through 75. Each player has
a BINGO card with some numbers written on
it. The participants cancels the number on the
card when called out a number written on the
ball selected at random. Whosoever cancels all
the numbers on his/her card, says BINGO and wins the game. [BOARD 2024]
The table given below, shows the data of one such game where 48 balls were used
before Tara said ‘BINGO’.

3. Activities like running or cycling

reduce stress and the risk of
mental disorders like depression.
Running helps build endurance.
Children develop stronger bones
and muscles and are less prone to
gain weight. The physical
education teacher of a school has

running tournament in his school premises. The time taken by a group of students
to run 100 m, was noted as follows. [BOARD 2024]
