Class 10 Mathematics Project
Mathematical Study of Arunachal Pradesh
1. Introduction
Arunachal Pradesh, located in the northeastern region of India, is known for its natural beauty,
mountains, rivers, and tribal cultures. Mathematics helps us analyze information about the state
scientifically. In this project, we apply various mathematical concepts such as data handling,
mensuration, coordinate geometry, ratio, percentage, and probability to understand the state's
geographical and demographic structure.
2. Basic Facts About Arunachal Pradesh
• Capital: Itanagar
• Area: 83,743 sq km
• Number of Districts: 28
• Total Population: 15.7 lakh (approx.)
• Major Rivers: Siang, Lohit, Dibang, Subansiri
• Literacy Rate: 65%
3. Data Handling – Detailed Study
We collected population data of 8 major districts as a sample dataset:
Tawang 50, West Kameng 80, East Kameng 78, Papum Pare 180,
Lower Subansiri 85, Upper Siang 35, Changlang 150, Tirap 120.
A. Mean Calculation
Total = 778 thousand, Mean = 97.25 thousand.
B. Median Calculation
Arranged data: 35, 50, 78, 80, 85, 120, 150, 180.
Median = 82.5 thousand.
C. Mode
No repeating data, so no mode.
D. Range
Range = Highest – Lowest = 180 – 35 = 145 thousand.
4. Bar Graph & Interpretation
A bar graph can be drawn to represent district-wise population.
The graph shows that Papum Pare has the highest population, while Upper Siang has the lowest.
5. Pie Chart – Literacy Study
Literate = 65% = 234°
Illiterate = 35% = 126°
This represents educational distribution in the state.
6. Mensuration – Area Conversions
Area of Arunachal Pradesh = 83,743 sq km.
In sq meters = 83,743 × 1,000,000 = 83,743,000,000 sq m.
Perimeter Approximation
If we assume the state roughly as a rectangle of 450 km by 186 km:
Approx. Perimeter = 2(450 + 186) = 1,272 km.
7. Coordinate Geometry – Location Mapping
Let three important locations be plotted as:
A(2,6) = Itanagar
B(10,12) = Tawang
C(14,4) = Changlang
Distances:
AB = 10 units
BC = 10.77 units
CA = 12.16 units
Area using coordinate formula = 32 sq units.
8. Percentages – Population Analysis
Total Population = 15,70,000
Literate = 65% = 10,20,500
Illiterate = 35% = 5,49,500
Tribal Population Analysis
If 68% of population belongs to Scheduled Tribes:
ST Population = 0.68 × 15,70,000 = 10,67,600 people.
9. Ratio and Proportion
Ratio of male to female population (based on sex ratio 938 per 1000):
Male : Female = 1000 : 938
= 1000/938 simplified ≈ 50 : 47
10. Probability – Geography Based
Total districts = 28.
If 10 are eastern mountain districts:
Probability of selecting one = 10/28 = 5/14.
If 5 districts lie near major rivers:
Probability = 5/28.
11. Mathematical Importance
Mathematics supports decision-making in tribal development,
resource distribution, environmental conservation, and population studies.
12. Conclusion
This extended project demonstrates how mathematics helps analyze the geography,
population, literacy, and development of Arunachal Pradesh. Using data handling,
geometry, percentages, and probability, we gain deeper insights into the state's features.
