Exercise 1.1
Question 1.

Following number line shows the temperature in degree Celsius(oC) at different places on a particulars day.


(a) Observe this number line and write the temperature of the places marked on it.

(b) What is the temperature difference between the hottest and the coldest places among the above?

(c) What is the temperature difference between Lahulspiti and Srinagar?

(d) Can we say temperature of Srinagar and Shimla taken together is less than the temperature at Shimla? Is it also less than the temperature at Srinagar?


Answer:

(a) By observing the above-given data, we can represent the temperature of cities as follows:



(b) From the above table, it is clear that:


Hottest place temperature = 22oC


Coolest place temperature = -8oC


Therefore,


Temperature diference = Hottest place temperature – Coolest place temperature


= 22 – (-8)


= 30oC


Hence,


Temperature between the hottest and coolest place is 30oC


(c) From the above table, it is clear that:


Temperature of Lahaul Spiti = -8oC


Temperature at Srinagar = -2oC


Therefore,


Temperature difference of both cities = Temperature of Lahulspiti - Temperature of Srinagar


= -8 – (-2)


= -8 + 2


= - 6oC


Hence,


The temperature difference between Lahaul Spiti and Srinagar is -6oC.


(d) From the above table, it is clear that:


Temperature of Srinagar = -2oC


Also,


Temperature of Shimla = 5oC


Therefore,


Temperature of Srinagar and Shimla taken together = -2 + 5


= 3oC


Since,


3oC < 5oC


3oC < Temperature of Shimla


It is clear that temperature of Srinagar and Shimla taken together is less than the temperature of Shimla.


Question 2.

In a quiz, positive marks are given for correct answers and negative marks are given for incorrect answers. If Jack’s scores in five successive rounds were 25, - 5, - 10, 15 and 10, what was his total at the end?


Answer:

It is given in the question that,


Scores of Jack in 5 successive rounds = 25, -5, -10, 15 and 10


Therefore,


The total score of Jack at the and will be the sum of scores of 5 successive rounds


Therefore,


Total score of Jack = 25 + (-5) + (-10) + 15 + 10


= 25 – 5 – 10 + 15 + 10


= 25 – 15 + 15 + 10


= 25 + 10


= 35

Total score at the end is 35.

Question 3.

At Srinagar, temperature was -5oC on Monday and then it dropped by 2oC on Tuesday. What was the temperature of Srinagar on Tuesday? On Wednesday, it rose by 4oC. What was the temperature on this day?


Answer:

It is given in the question that,

Temperature of Srinagar on Monday = -5oC

∵ The temperature of Srinagar on Tuesday = Temperature of Srinagar on Monday – 2oC

= - 5 – 2

= - 7oC

The temperature of Srinagar on Wednesday = Temperature of Srinagar on Tuesday + 4oC

= - 7 + 4

= - 3oC

Therefore,

The temperature of Srinagar on Tuesday and the temperature of Srinagar on Wednesday was – 7oC and -3oC respectively.


Question 4.

A plane is flying at the height of 5000 m above the sea level. At a particular point, it is exactly above a submarine floating 1200 m below the sea level. What is the vertical distance between them?



Answer:

It is given in the question that,


The height of plane = 5000 m


Also,

As submarine is below the water,

Depth of submarine = - 1200 m


Therefore,


The distance between plane and submarine = 5000 – (-1200)


= 5000 + 1200


= 6200 m


Question 5.

Mohan deposits Rs. 2,000 in his bank account and withdraws Rs. 1,642 form it, the next day. If withdrawal of amount from the account is represented by a negative integer, then how will you represent the amount deposited? Find the balance in Mohan’s account after the withdrawal.


Answer:

It is given in the question that,


The amount deposited in bank account = Rs 2000


Also,


Amount withdrawn from bank account = Rs 1642


Therefore,


Balance left in account = Amount deposited in bank account + Amount withdrawn from the bank account


= 2000 + (-1642)


= 2000 – 1642


= 358


Therefore, money left in Mohan’s account after withdrawal is Rs 358.


Question 6.

Rita goes 20 km towards east from a point A to the point B. From B, she moves 30 km towards west along the same road. If the distance towards east is represented by a positive integer, then how will you represent the distance travelled towards west? By which integer will you represent her final position from A?



Answer:

We have,


Distance towards the east is represented by positive whereas distance towards the west is represented by a negative integer


It is given in the question that,


Distance traveled in the east direction = 20 km


Also,


Distance traveled in west direction = 30 km


Therefore,


Distance travelled from A = 20 + (-30)


= - 10 km


As the distance is negative, so we will represent the distance travelled by Rita from A towards the west direction.


Question 7.

In a magic square each row, column and diagonal have the same sum. Check which of
the following is a magic square.

(i)


(ii)


Answer:

(i) Sum of the rows of the box,
5 - 1 - 4 = 0
-5 - 2 + 7 = 0
0 + 3 - 3 = 0
Sum of the columns,
5 - 5 + 0 = 0
-5 - 2 + 7 = 0
0 + 3 - 3 = 0
Sum of the diagonals,
5 - 2 - 3 = 0
0 - 2 - 4 = -6
As one of the diagonals does not equal to 0, it is not a magic square.
(ii) Sum of the rows,
1 - 10 + 0 = -9
-4 - 3 - 2 = -9
-6 + 4 - 7 = -9
Sum of the columns,
1 - 4 - 6 = -9
-10 - 3 + 4 = -9
0 - 2 - 7 = -9
Sum of the columns,
1 - 3 - 7 = -9
0 - 3 - 6 = 9
As the sum of rows, columns and diagonals are equal. This is a magic square.


Question 8.

Verify a-(-b)= a + b for the following values of a and b:

(i) a = 21, b = 18

(ii) a = 118, b = 125

(iii) a = 75, b = 84

(iv) a = 28, b = 11


Answer:

(i) We have given in the question that,


a = 21


b = 18


We have to prove that:


a – (-b) = a + b


Now,


a – (-b) = 21 – (-18)


= 21 + 18


= 39


Also,


a + b = 21 + 18


= 39


Therefore,


a – (-b) = a + b


Hence, verified


(ii) We have given in the question that,


a = 118


b = 125


We have to prove that:


a – (-b) = a + b


Now,


a – (-b) = 118 – (-125)


= 118 + 125


= 243


Also,


a + b = 118 + 125


= 243


Therefore,


a – (-b) = a + b


Hence, verified


(iii) We have given in the question that,


a = 75


b = 84


We have to prove that:


a – (-b) = a + b


Now,


a – (-b) = 75 – (-84)


= 75 + 84


= 159


Also,


a + b = 75 + 84


= 159


Therefore,


a – (-b) = a + b


Hence, verified


(iv) We have given in the question that,


a = 28


b = 11


We have to prove that:


a – (-b) = a + b


Now,


a – (-b) = 28 – (-11)


= 28 + 11


= 39


Also,


a + b = 28 + 11


= 39


Therefore,


a – (-b) = a + b


Hence, verified


Question 9.

Use the sign of >, < or = in the box to make the statements true:

(a) (-8) + (-4) ….. (-8) - (-4)

(b) (-3) + 7 – (19) ….. 15 – 8 + (-9)

(c) 23 – 41 + 11 ….. 23 – 41 – 11

(d) 39 + (-24) – (15) ….. 36 + (-52) – (-36)

(e) – 231 + 79 + 51 ….. – 399 + 159 + 81


Answer:

(a)(-8) + (-4) ….. (-8) - (-4)

We have,


(-8) + (-4)


= -8 – 4


= - 12


Also,


(-8) – (-4)


= - 8 + 4


= - 4


Hence,


-12 < - 4


⇒ (-8) + (-4) < (-8) - (-4)


(b)(-3) + 7 – (19) ….. 15 – 8 + (-9)

We have,


(-3) + 7 – (19)


= - 3 + 7 – 19


= - 22 + 7


= - 15


Also,


15 – 8 + (-9)


= 15 – 8 – 9

= 15-17

= - 2


Hence,


- 15 < - 2


⇒ (-3) + 7 – (19) < 15 – 8 + (-9)


(c)23 – 41 + 11 ….. 23 – 41 – 11

We have,


23 - 41 + 11

= -18 + 11

= - 7


Also,


23 – 41 – 11


= 23 – 52


= - 29


Hence,


- 7 > - 29


23 – 41 + 11 > 23 – 41 – 11


(d) 39 + (-24) – (15) ….. 36 + (-52) – (-36)

We have,


39 + (-24) – (15)


= 39 – 24 - 15


= 39 – 39


= 0


Also,


36 + (-52) – (- 36)


= 36 – 52 + 36


= 72 – 52


= 20


Hence,


0 < 20


39 + (-24) – (15) < 36 + (-52) – (-36)


(e)– 231 + 79 + 51 ….. – 399 + 159 + 81

We have,


- 231 + 79 + 51


= - 231 + 130


= - 101


Also,


- 399 + 159 + 81


= - 399 + 240


= - 159


Hence,


- 101 > - 159


– 231 + 79 + 51 > – 399 + 159 + 81


Question 10.

A water tank has steps inside it. A monkey is sitting on the topmost step (i.e, the first step). The water level is at the ninth step.
(i) He jumps 3 steps down and then jumps back 2 steps up. In how many jumps will he reach the water level?
(ii) After drinking water, he wants to go back. For this, he jumps 4 steps up and then jumps Back 2 steps down in every move. In how many jumps will he reach back the top step?
(iii) If the number of steps moved down is represented by negative integers and the number of steps moved up by positive integers, represent his moves in part (i)
and (ii) by completing the following: -3 + 2 -.....= -8 ; 4 -2 + 4 -2 .... = 8. In (a), the sum (-8) represents going down by eight steps. So, what will the sum 8 in (b) represent?


Answer:

(i) Let us assume, down moved steps be represented by positive whereas up moved steps be represented by negative integers

It is given that,

Initially the monkey will be at step = 1

After the 1st jump monkey’s step = 1 + 3 = 4

After the 2nd jump monkey’s step = 4 + (-2) = 2

After the 3rd jump monkey’s step = 2 + 3 = 5

After the 4th jump monkey’s step = 5 + (-2) = 3

After the 5th jump monkey’s step = 3 + 3 = 6

After the 6th jump monkey’s step = 6 + (-2) = 4

After the 7th jump monkey’s step = 4 + 3 = 7

After the 8th jump monkey’s step = 7 + (-2) = 5

After the 9th jump monkey’s step = 5 + 3 = 8

After the 10th jump monkey’s step = 8 + (-2) = 6

After the 11th jump monkey’s step = 6 + 3 = 9

Hence,

From above results it is clear that the monkey will be at water level i.e.,9 after 11 jumps

(ii) From above, we have

Initial step of monkey = 9

Therefore,

After the 1st jump monkey’s step = 9 + (-4) = 5

After the 2nd jump monkey’s step = 5 + 2 = 7

After the 3rd jump monkey’s step = 7 + (-4) = 3

After the 4th jump monkey’s step = 3 + 2 = 5

After the 5th jump monkey’s step = 5 + (-4) = 1

Hence,

It is clear from the above results is that after 5 jumps the monkey will reach back at the top

(iii) If we will represent the down steps by negative and up steps by positive than the moves are are as follows:

We have,

Moves in (i):

- 3 + 2 – 3 + 2 – 3 + 2 – 3 + 2 – 3 + 2 – 3 = 8

Also,

Moves in part (ii):

4 – 2 + 4 – 2 + 4 = 8

Therefore,

Moves in part (ii) shows those steps who moves up.



Exercise 1.2
Question 1.

Write down a pair of integers whose:

(a) Sum is – 7

(b) Difference is – 10

(c) Sum is 0


Answer:

(a) It is given in the question that,


Sum = - 7


Therefore,


Pair of integers having sum – 7 is as follows:


- 8 + (1) = - 7


(b) It is given in the question that,


Difference = - 10


Therefore,


Pair of integers having the difference – 10 is as follows:


- 12 - (-2)


= - 12 + 2


= - 10


(c) It is given in the question that,


Sum = 0


Therefore,


Pair of integers having sum 0 is as follows:


4 + (-4) = 0


Question 2.

Write a pair of negative integers whose difference gives 8.


Answer:

It is given in the question that,


Difference = 8


Therefore,


Pair of negative integers having difference 8 is as follows:


- 2 - (-10)


= - 2 + 10


= 8



Question 3.

Write a negative integer and a positive integer whose sum is – 5.


Answer:

It is given in the question that,


Sum = - 5


Therefore,


Negative integer and positive integer having sum – 5 is as follows:


- 8 + (3) = - 5



Question 4.

Write a negative integer and a positive integer whose difference is – 3.


Answer:

It is given in the question that,


Difference = - 3


Therefore,


Negative integer and positive integer having difference – 3 is as follows:


- 2 - (1)


= - 2 – 1


= - 3

So the two integers are -2 and 1 respectively.

Question 5.

In a quiz, team A scored - 40, 10, 0 and team B scored 10, 0, - 40 in three successive rounds. Which team scored more? Can we say that we can add integers in any order?


Answer:

It is given in the question that,


Scores of Team A = -40, 10, 0


Therefore,


Total score of Team A = - 40 + 10 + 0


= - 30


Also,


Scores of Team B = 10, 0, -40


Therefore,


Total score of Team B = 10 + 0 + (-40)


= 10 – 40


= - 30


Hence,


It is clear from the above results that the scores of both teams are equal.


Yes, we can also add integers in any order.

As in the above case scores of both, the teams are equal in numerical terms but different in order.


Question 6.

Fill in the blanks to make the following statements true:

(i) (-5) + (-8) = (-8) + (………)

(ii) -53 + …….= -53

(iii) 17 + ……. = 0

(iv) [13 + (-12)]+(……..) = 13 +[(-12)+(-7)]

(v) (-4) + [15+(-3)] = [-4+15] + ……


Answer:

(i) We have,


(-5) + (-8) = (-8) + (…..)

By the commutative property a+b=b+a

We have,

(-5) + (-8) = (-8) + (-5)


(ii) We have,

- 53 + (…..) = - 53

As we know 0 is the number which is added to a number to give the same number.


So,


- 53 + (0) = - 53


(iii) We have,


17 + (…..) = 0

answer should be zero, and we know if we add the negative of the number itself it will give zero,


So,


17 + (-17) = 0


(iv) We have,


[13 + (-12)] + (…..) = 13 + [(-12) + (-7)]


By associative property (a+b)+c=a+(b+c)

We have,

[13 + (-12)] + (-7) = 13 + [(-12) + (-7)]


(v) We have,


(-4) + [15 + (-3)] = [(-4) + 15] + (…..)


By associative property (a+b)+c=a+(b+c)

We have,

(-4) + [15 + (-3)] = [(-4) + 15] + (-3)

(f) (–12) × (–11) × (10)

(g) 9 × (–3) × (– 6)

(h) (–18) × (–5) × (– 4)

(i) (–1) × (–2) × (–3) × 4

(j) (–3) × (–6) × (–2) × (–1)


Answer:

(a) We have,


3 × (-1) = - 3


(b) We have,


(-1) × 225 = - 225


(c) We have,


(-21) × (-30) = -21 × -30


= 630


(d) We have,


(-316) × (-1) = - 316 × - 1


= 316


(e) We have,


(-15) × 0 × (-18) = - 15 × 0 × -18


= 0 × 270


= 0


(f) We have,


(-12) × (-11) × 10 = 12 × -11 × 10


= 12 × - 110


= - 1320


(g) We have,


9 × (-3) × (-6) = 9 × -3 × -6


= - 27 × - 6


= 162


(h) We have,

= 2 × - 12


= - 24


(j) We have,


(-3) × (-6) × (-2) × (-1) = -3 × -6 × -2 × -1


= 18 × 2


= 36


Question 2.

Verify the following:

(a) 18 ×[7+(-3)] = [18 × 7] + [18 × (-3)]

(b) (-21) ×[(-4)+(-6)] = [(-21) ×(-4)] + [(-21) ×(-6)]


Answer:

(a) We have,


L.H.S = 18 × [7 + (- 3)]


= 18 × [7 – 3]


= 18 × [4]


= 72


Also, we have:


R.H.S = [18 × 7] + [18 × (-3)]


= 126 + (-54)


= 126 - 54


= 72


Therefore,


L.H.S = R.H.S


Hence,


18 × [7 + (- 3)] = [18 × 7] + [18 × (-3)]


(b)We have,


L.H.S = (-21) × [(-4) + (-6)]


= (-21) × [- 4 – 6]


= (-21) × (-10)


= 210


Also, we have:


R.H.S = [(-21) × (-4) + [(-21) × (-6)]


= 84 + 126


= 210


Also, we have:


R.H.S = [(-21) × (-4)] + [(-21) × (-6)]


= [21 x 4] + [21 x 6]


= 84 + 126


= 210

Therefore,


L.H.S = R.H.S


Hence,


[(-21) × (-4) + [(-21) × (-6)] = [(-21) × (-4)] + [(-21) × (-6)]


Question 3.

For any integer a, what is (-1) × a equal to?


Answer:

If we look the question then there will be three possible cases for this question:


Case 1: When a is any positive integer


So,


(-1) × a = - a


Case 2: When a is any negative integer


So,


(-1) × (-a) = a


Also,


Case 3: When a is 0


So,


(-1) × 0 = 0


Therefore,


From the above results, the possible answers are a, 0 and – a


Question 4.

Determine the integer whose product with (-1) is
(a) – 22

(b) 37

(c) 0


Answer:

(a) We have,


22 × (-1) = -22


(b)

We have,

-37 × (-1) = 37


(c) We have,


0 × (-1) = 0


Question 5.

Starting from (-1) × 5, write various products showing some pattern to show (-1) ×(-1)-1.


Answer:

In this question, we have


- 1 × 5 = - 5


- 1 × 4 = - 4 = - 5 + 1


- 1 × 3 = - 3 = - 4 + 1


- 1 × 2 = 2 = - 3 + 1


- 1 × 1 = - 1 = - 2 + 1


- 1 × 0 = 0 = - 1 + 1


Therefore,


- 1 × (-1) = 0 + 1 = 1

(b × a = a × b)


Also,


(a × b + a × c) = a (b + c)


Therefore,


= (-48) × 26 + (-48) × (-36)


= (-48) [26 + (-36)]


= (-48) [26 – 36]


= (-48) [-10]


= 480


(b) We have,


8 × 53 × (-125)


We know that,


(b × a = a × b)


Also,


a × (b × c) = (a × b) × c


Therefore,


= 8 × [53 × (-125)]


= 8 × [(-125) × 53]


= [8 × (-125)] × 53


= [-1000] × 53


= [-1000] × 53


= - 53000


(c) We have,


15 × (-25) × (-4) × (-10)


Therefore,


= 15 × [(-25) × (-4)] × (-10)


= 15 × (100) × (-10)


= 15 × (-1000)


= -15000


(d) We have,


(-41) × 102


We know that,


a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c)


Therefore,


= (-41) × (100 + 2)


= (-41) × 100 + (-41) × 2


= - 4100 – 82


= - 4182


(e) We have,


625 × (-35) + (-625) × 65


We know that,


(a × b + a × c) = a (b + c)


Therefore,


= 625 × [(-35) + (-65)]


= 625 × [-100]


= - 62500


(f) We have,


7 × (50 - 2)


We know that,


a × (b – c) = (a × b)- (a × c)


Therefore,


= (7 × 50) – (7 × 2)


= 350 – 14


= 336


(g) We have,


(-17) × (-29)


We know that,


a × (b + c) = (a × b)+ (a × c)


Therefore,


= (-17) × [-30 + 1]


= [(-17) × (-30)] + [(-17) × 1]


= [510] + [-17]


= 493


(h) We have,


(-57) × (-19) + 57 = 57 × 19 + 57

We know that,


(a × b) + (a × c) = a × (b + c)


Therefore,


= 57 × 19 + 57 × 1


= 57 [19 + 1]


= 57 × 20


= 1140


Question 7.

A certain freezing process requires that room temperature be lowered from 40ºC at the rate of 5ºC every hour. What will be the room temperature 10 hours after the process begins?


Answer:

It is given in the question that,


Initial temperature = 40oC


Also,


Change in temperature per hour = - 5oC


Therefore,


Change in temperature after 10 hours = (-5) × 10


= - 50oC


Hence,


Final temperature = 40oC + (-50oC)


= - 10oC



Question 8.

In a class test containing 10 questions, 5 marks are awarded for every correct answer and (-2) marks are awarded for every incorrect answer and 0 for questions not attempted.

(i) Mohan gets four correct and six incorrect answers. What is his score?

(ii) Reshma gets five correct answers and five incorrect answers, what is her score?

(iii) Heena gets two correct and five incorrect answers out of seven questions she attempts. What is her score?


Answer:

(i) It is given in the question that,


Marks given to students for 1 correct answer = 5


Therefore,


Marks given to students for 4 correct answers = 5 × 4


= 20


Also,


Marks given to students for 1 wrong answer = - 2


Therefore,


Marks given to students for 6 wrong answers = - 2 × 6


= - 12


Hence,


Marks obtained by Mohan = 20 – 12


= 8


(ii) It is given in the question that,


Marks given to students for 1 correct answer = 5


Therefore,


Marks given to students for 5 correct answers = 5 × 5


= 25


Also,


Marks are given to students for 1 wrong answer = - 2


Therefore,


Marks given to students for 5 wrong answers = - 2 × 5


= - 10


Hence,


Marks obtained by Reshma = 25 – 10


= 15


(iii) It is given in the question that,


Marks given to students for 1 correct answer = 5


Therefore,


Marks given to students for 2 correct answers = 5 × 2


= 10


Also,


Marks given to students for 1 wrong answer = - 2


Therefore,


Marks given to students for 5 wrong answers = - 2 × 5


= - 10


Hence,


Marks obtained by Heena = 10 – 10


= 0


Question 9.

A cement company earns a profit of Rs. 8 per bag of white cement sold and a loss of Rs. 5 per bag of grey cement sold.

(a) The company sells 3,000 bags of white cement and 5,000 bags of grey cement in a month. What is its profit or loss?

(b) What is the number of white cement bags it must sell to have neither profit nor loss, if the number of grey bags sod is 6,400 bags?


Answer:

(a) In the question profit is denoted by a positive integer whereas loss is denoted by a negative integer


It is given in the question that:


Profit earned while selling 1 bag of white cement = Rs 8


Therefore,


Profit earned while selling 3000 bags of white cement = 8 × 3000


= Rs 24000


Also,


Loss during selling 1 bag of grey cement = Rs – 5


Therefore,


Loss during 5000 bags of grey cement = - 5 × 5000


= - 25000


Hence,


Total proft or loss earned by the company = Profit + Loss


= 24000 + (-25000)


= - 1000


Hence,


A loss of Rs 1000 is being incurred by the company


(b) It is given in the question that,


Loss during selling 1 bag of grey cement = Rs – 5


Therefore,


Loss during 6400 bags of grey cement = - 5 × 6400


= - 32000


Let the number of bags of white cement to be sold be x


It is also given that,


Profit earned while selling 1 bag of white cement = Rs 8


Therefore,


Profit earned while selling x bags of white cement = x × 8


= 8x


For having a condition of no profit and no loss, we have:


Profit + Loss = 0


8x + (-32000) = 0


8x = 32000


x =


= 4000


Therefore, 4000 bags of white cement must be sold

Question 2.

Verify that a÷(b + c) (a ÷ b)+(a ÷ c) for each of the following values of a, b and c:

(a) a = 12, b = - 4, c = 2

(b) a = ( - 10), b = 1, c = 1


Answer:

(a) It is given in the question that,


a = 12


b = - 4


And,


c = 2


We have to verify: a ÷ (b + c) (a ÷ b) + (a ÷ c)


Now,


a ÷ (b + c)


= 12 ÷ (-4 + 2)


= 12 ÷ (-2)


=


= - 6


Also,


(a ÷ b) + (a ÷ c)


= [12 ÷ (- 4)] + [12 ÷ 2]


= +


= - 3 + 6


= 3


Therefore,


- 6 3


Hence,


a ÷ (b + c) (a ÷ b) + (a ÷ c)


Verified


(b) It is given in the question that,


a = (- 10)


b = 1


And,


c = 1


We have to verify: a ÷ (b + c) (a ÷ b) + (a ÷ c)


Now,


a ÷ (b + c)


= (-10) ÷ (1 + 1)


= (-10) ÷ (2)


=


= - 5


Also,


(a ÷ b) + (a ÷ c)


= [(-10) ÷ 1] + [(-10) ÷ 1]


= +


= - 10 + (- 10)


= - 10 - 10


= - 20


Therefore,


- 5 - 20


Hence,


a ÷ (b + c) (a ÷ b) + (a ÷ c)


Verified

Question 5.

The temperature at 12 noon was 10oC above zero. If it decreases at the rate of 2oC per hour
until mid-night, at what time would the temperature be 8oC below zero? What would be the temperature at mid-night?


Answer:

Method 1:

Given: Temperature at 12 noon = 10oC

Change in temperature per hour = - 2oC

To Find: Time at which temperature is 8ºC below zero = -8ºC.

Temperature Difference = -8 - 10 = - 18ºC.

-2ºC change is in 1 hour
1ºC change will be in 1/2 hour.
18ºC change will be in 1/2 × 18 hours.
18ºC change will be in 9 hours.
So, the time at which the temperature is -8ºC = 12 noon + 9 hours = 9 p.m

Now, temperature at 12 midnight = 12 noon + 12 hours
Therefore, we need to find a change in temperature in 12 hours.

In 1-hour change is -2ºC, in 12 hours change will be 12 × -2ºC = -24ºC.

So, the temperature at midnight = 10ºC - 24ºC = - 14ºC



Method 2:
Given:
Temperature at 12 noon = 10oC

Change in temperature per hour = - 2oC

Therefore,

Temperature at 1:00 PM = 10oC + (-2oC) = 8oC

Temperature at 2:00 PM = 8oC + (-2oC) = 6oC

Temperature at 3:00 PM = 6oC + (-2oC) = 4oC

Temperature at 4:00 PM = 4oC + (-2oC) = 2oC

Temperature at 5:00 PM = 2oC + (-2oC) = 0oC

Temperature at 6:00 PM = 0oC + (-2oC) = - 2oC

Temperature at 7:00 PM = - 2oC + (-2oC) = - 4oC

Temperature at 8:00 PM = - 4oC + (-2oC) = - 6oC

Temperature at 9:00 PM = - 6oC + (-2oC) = - 8oC

Hence,

The temperature will be 8oC below zero at 9:00 PM

Now,

Change in temperature in 12 hours = - 2oC × 12

= - 24oC

Also,

At midnight the temperature will be = 10 + (-24)

= - 14oC

Hence,

The temperature at midnight will be 14oC below zero.




Question 6.

In a class test (+3) marks are given for every correct answer and (-2) marks are given for every incorrect answer and no marks for not attempting any question.
(i) Radhika scored 20 marks. If she has got 12 correct answers, how many questions has she attempted incorrectly?

(ii) Mohini scores – 5 marks in this test, though she has got 7 correct answers. How many questions has she attempted incorrectly?


Answer:

(i) It is given in the question that,


Marks given for every correct answer = +3


And,


Marks given for every wrong answer = - 2


Also, it is given that:


Marks obtained by Radhika = 20


Correct answer = 12


Therefore,


Marks obtained for correct answers = 12 × 3


= 36


Hence,


Marks obtained for incorrect answers = Total marks – Marks obtained for correct answers


= 20 – 36


= - 16


As, marks obtained for 1 wrong answer = - 2


Hence,


Number of incorrect answers =


= 8


(ii) It is given in the question that,


Marks given for every correct answer = +3


And,


Marks given for every wrong answer = - 2


Also, it is given that:


Marks obtained by Mohini = - 5


Correct answer = 7


Therefore,


Marks obtained for correct answers = 7 × 3


= 21


Hence,


Marks obtained for incorrect answers = Total marks – Marks obtained for correct answers


= -5 – 21


= - 26


As, marks obtained for 1 wrong answer = - 2


Hence,


Number of incorrect answers =


= 13



Question 7.

An elevator descends into a mine shaft at the rate of 6 m/min. If the descent starts form 10m above the ground level, how long will it take to reach – 350 m


Answer:

In the above question the distance descended is denoted by a negative integer


It is given in the question that,


Initial height = 10 m


Also,


Final depth = - 350 m


Therefore,


Total distance to be descended by the elevator = (-350) – (10)


= - 360 m


Also,


Time taken by the elevator to descend – 6m = 1 minute


Hence,


Time taken by the elevator to descend – 360 m =


= 60 minutes


= 1 hour
