1. Following number line shows the temperature in degree celsius (co) at different places on a particular day.
(a) Observe this number line and write the temperature of the places marked on it.
Solution:-
By observing the number line, we can find the temperature of the cities as follows,
Temperature at the Lahulspiti is -8oC
Temperature at the Srinagar is -2oC
Temperature at the Shimla is 5oC
Temperature at the Ooty is 14oC
Temperature at the Bengaluru is 22oC
(b) What is the temperature difference between the hottest and the coldest places among the above?
Solution:-
From the number line we observe that,
The temperature at the hottest place i.e., Bengaluru is 22oC
The temperature at the coldest place i.e., Lahulspiti is -8oC
Temperature difference between hottest and coldest place is = 22oC – (-8oC)
= 22oC + 8oC
= 30oC
Hence, the temperature difference between the hottest and the coldest place is 30oC.
(c) What is the temperature difference between Lahulspiti and Srinagar?
Solution:-
From the given number line,
The temperature at the Lahulspiti is -8oC
The temperature at the Srinagar is -2oC
∴The temperature difference between Lahulspiti and Srinagar is = -2oC – (8oC)
= – 2OC + 8oC
= 6oC
(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?
Solution:-
From the given number line,
The temperature at Srinagar =-2oC
The temperature at Shimla = 5oC
The temperature of Srinagar and Shimla taken together is = – 2oC + 5oC
= 3oC
∴ 5oC > 3oC
So, the temperature of Srinagar and Shimla taken together is less than the temperature at Shimla.
Then,
3o > -2o
No, the temperature of Srinagar and Shimla taken together is not less than the temperature of Srinagar.
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?
Solution:-
From the question,
Jack’s score in five successive rounds are 25, -5, -10, 15 and 10
The total score of Jack at the end will be = 25 + (-5) + (-10) + 15 + 10
= 25 – 5 – 10 + 15 + 10
= 50 – 15
= 35
∴Jack’s total score at the end is 35.
3. At Srinagar temperature was – 5°C on Monday and then it dropped by 2°C on Tuesday. What was the temperature of Srinagar on Tuesday? On Wednesday, it rose by 4°C. What was the temperature on this day?
Solution:-
From the question,
Temperature on Monday at Srinagar = -5oC
Temperature on Tuesday at Srinagar is dropped by 2oC = Temperature on Monday – 2oC
= -5oC – 2oC
= -7oC
Temperature on Wednesday at Srinagar is rose by 4oC = Temperature on Tuesday + 4oC
= -7oC + 4oC
= -3oC
Thus, the temperature on Tuesday and Wednesday was -7oC and -3oC respectively.
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?
Solution:-
From the question,
Plane is flying at the height = 5000 m
Depth of Submarine = -1200 m
The vertical distance between plane and submarine = 5000 m – (- 1200) m
= 5000 m + 1200 m
= 6200 m
5. Mohan deposits ₹ 2,000 in his bank account and withdraws ₹ 1,642 from 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.
Solution:-
Withdrawal of amount from the account is represented by a negative integer.
Then, deposit of amount to the account is represented by a positive integer.
From the question,
Total amount deposited in bank account by the Mohan = ₹ 2000
Total amount withdrawn from the bank account by the Mohan = – ₹ 1642
Balance in Mohan’s account after the withdrawal = amount deposited + amount withdrawn
= ₹ 2000 + (-₹ 1642)
= ₹ 2000 – ₹ 1642
= ₹ 358
Hence, the balance in Mohan’s account after the withdrawal is ₹ 358
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?
Solution:-
From the question, it is given that
A positive integer represents the distance towards the east.
Then, distance travelled towards the west will be represented by a negative integer.
Rita travels a distance in east direction = 20 km
Rita travels a distance in west direction = – 30 km
∴Distance travelled from A = 20 + (- 30)
= 20 – 30
= -10 km
Hence, we will represent the distance travelled by Rita from point A by a negative integer, i.e. – 10 km
7. In a magic square each row, column and diagonal have the same sum. Check which of the following is a magic square.
Solution:-
First we consider the square (i)
By adding the numbers in each rows we get,
= 5 + (- 1) + (- 4) = 5 – 1 – 4 = 5 – 5 = 0
= -5 + (-2) + 7 = – 5 – 2 + 7 = -7 + 7 = 0
= 0 + 3 + (-3) = 3 – 3 = 0
By adding the numbers in each columns we get,
= 5 + (- 5) + 0 = 5 – 5 = 0
= (-1) + (-2) + 3 = -1 – 2 + 3 = -3 + 3 = 0
= -4 + 7 + (-3) = -4 + 7 – 3 = -7 + 7 = 0
By adding the numbers in diagonals we get,
= 5 + (-2) + (-3) = 5 – 2 – 3 = 5 – 5 = 0
= -4 + (-2) + 0 = – 4 – 2 = -6
Because sum of one diagonal is not equal to zero,
So, (i) is not a magic square
Now, we consider the square (ii)
By adding the numbers in each rows we get,
= 1 + (-10) + 0 = 1 – 10 + 0 = -9
= (-4) + (-3) + (-2) = -4 – 3 – 2 = -9
= (-6) + 4 + (-7) = -6 + 4 – 7 = -13 + 4 = -9
By adding the numbers in each columns we get,
= 1 + (-4) + (-6) = 1 – 4 – 6 = 1 – 10 = -9
= (-10) + (-3) + 4 = -10 – 3 + 4 = -13 + 4
= 0 + (-2) + (-7) = 0 – 2 – 7 = -9
By adding the numbers in diagonals we get,
= 1 + (-3) + (-7) = 1 – 3 – 7 = 1 – 10 = -9
= 0 + (-3) + (-6) = 0 – 3 – 6 = -9
This (ii) square is a magic square, because sum of each row, each column and diagonal is equal to -9.
8. Verify a – (– b) = a + b for the following values of a and b.
(i) a = 21, b = 18
Solution:-
From the question,
a = 21 and b = 18
To verify a – (- b) = a + b
Let us take Left Hand Side (LHS) = a – (- b)
= 21 – (- 18)
= 21 + 18
= 39
Now, Right Hand Side (RHS) = a + b
= 21 + 18
= 39
By comparing LHS and RHS
LHS = RHS
39 = 39
Hence, the value of a and b is verified.
(ii) a = 118, b = 125
Solution:-
From the question,
a = 118 and b = 125
To verify a – (- b) = a + b
Let us take Left Hand Side (LHS) = a – (- b)
= 118 – (- 125)
= 118 + 125
= 243
Now, Right Hand Side (RHS) = a + b
= 118 + 125
= 243
By comparing LHS and RHS
LHS = RHS
243 = 243
Hence, the value of a and b is verified.
(iii) a = 75, b = 84
Solution:-
From the question,
a = 75 and b = 84
To verify a – (- b) = a + b
Let us take Left Hand Side (LHS) = a – (- b)
= 75 – (- 84)
= 75 + 84
= 159
Now, Right Hand Side (RHS) = a + b
= 75 + 84
= 159
By comparing LHS and RHS
LHS = RHS
159 = 159
Hence, the value of a and b is verified.
(iv) a = 28, b = 11
Solution:-
From the question,
a = 28 and b = 11
To verify a – (- b) = a + b
Let us take Left Hand Side (LHS) = a – (- b)
= 28 – (- 11)
= 28 + 11
= 39
Now, Right Hand Side (RHS) = a + b
= 28 + 11
= 39
By comparing LHS and RHS
LHS = RHS
39 = 39
Hence, the value of a and b is verified.
9. Use the sign of >, < or = in the box to make the statements true.
(a) (-8) + (-4) [ ] (-8) – (-4)
Solution:-
Let us take Left Hand Side (LHS) = (-8) + (-4)
= -8 – 4
= -12
Now, Right Hand Side (RHS) = (-8) – (-4)
= -8 + 4
= -4
By comparing LHS and RHS
LHS < RHS
-12 < -4
∴ (-8) + (-4) [<] (-8) – (-4)
(b) (-3) + 7 – (19) [ ] 15 – 8 + (-9)
Solution:-
Let us take Left Hand Side (LHS) = (-3) + 7 – 19
= -3 + 7 – 19
= -22 + 7
= -15
Now, Right Hand Side (RHS) = 15 – 8 + (-9)
= 15 – 8 – 9
= 15 – 17
= -2
By comparing LHS and RHS
LHS < RHS
-15 < -2
∴ (-3) + 7 – (19) [<] 15 – 8 + (-9)
(c) 23 – 41 + 11 [ ] 23 – 41 – 11
Solution:-
Let us take Left Hand Side (LHS) = 23 – 41 + 11
= 34 – 41
= – 7
Now, Right Hand Side (RHS) = 23 – 41 – 11
= 23 – 52
= – 29
By comparing LHS and RHS
LHS > RHS
– 7 > -29
∴ 23 – 41 + 11 [>] 23 – 41 – 11
(d) 39 + (-24) – (15) [ ] 36 + (-52) – (- 36)
Solution:-
Let us take Left Hand Side (LHS) = 39 + (-24) – 15
= 39 – 24 – 15
= 39 – 39
= 0
Now, Right Hand Side (RHS) = 36 + (-52) – (- 36)
= 36 – 52 + 36
= 72 – 52
= 20
By comparing LHS and RHS
LHS < RHS
0 < 20
∴ 39 + (-24) – (15) [<] 36 + (-52) – (- 36)
(e) – 231 + 79 + 51 [ ] -399 + 159 + 81
Solution:-
Let us take Left Hand Side (LHS) = – 231 + 79 + 51
= – 231 + 130
= -101
Now, Right Hand Side (RHS) = – 399 + 159 + 81
= – 399 + 240
= – 159
By comparing LHS and RHS
LHS > RHS
-101 > -159
∴ – 231 + 79 + 51 [>] -399 + 159 + 81
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?
Solution:-
Let us consider steps moved down are represented by positive integers and then, steps moved up are represented by negative integers.
Initially monkey is sitting on the top most step i.e., first step
In 1st jump monkey will be at step = 1 + 3 = 4 steps
In 2nd jump monkey will be at step = 4 + (-2) = 4 – 2 = 2 steps
In 3rd jump monkey will be at step = 2 + 3 = 5 steps
In 4th jump monkey will be at step = 5 + (-2) = 5 – 2 = 3 steps
In 5th jump monkey will be at step = 3 + 3 = 6 steps
In 6th jump monkey will be at step = 6 + (-2) = 6 – 2 = 4 steps
In 7th jump monkey will be at step = 4 + 3 = 7 steps
In 8th jump monkey will be at step = 7 + (-2) = 7 – 2 = 5 steps
In 9th jump monkey will be at step = 5 + 3 = 8 steps
In 10th jump monkey will be at step = 8 + (-2) = 8 – 2 = 6 steps
In 11th jump monkey will be at step = 6 + 3 = 9 steps
∴Monkey took 11 jumps (i.e., 9th step) to 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?
Solution:-
Let us consider steps moved down are represented by positive integers and then, steps moved up are represented by negative integers.
Initially monkey is sitting on the ninth step i.e., at the water level
In 1st jump monkey will be at step = 9 + (-4) = 9 – 4 = 5 steps
In 2nd jump monkey will be at step = 5 + 2 = 7 steps
In 3rd jump monkey will be at step = 7 + (-4) = 7 – 4 = 3 steps
In 4th jump monkey will be at step = 3 + 2 = 5 steps
In 5th jump monkey will be at step = 5 + (-4) = 5 – 4 = 1 step
∴Monkey took 5 jumps to reach back the top step i.e., first 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; (a) – 3 + 2 – … = – 8 (b) 4 – 2 + … = 8. In (a) the sum (– 8) represents going down by eight steps. So, what will the sum 8 in (b) represent?
Solution:-
From the question, it is given that
If the number of steps moved down is represented by negative integers and the number of steps moved up by positive integers.
Monkey moves in part (i)
= – 3 + 2 – ……….. = – 8
Then LHS = – 3 + 2 – 3 + 2 – 3 + 2 – 3 + 2 – 3 + 2 – 3
= – 18 + 10
= – 8
RHS = -8
∴Moves in part (i) represents monkey is going down 8 steps. Because negative integer.
Now,
Monkey moves in part (ii)
= 4 – 2 + ……….. = 8
Then LHS = 4 – 2 + 4 – 2 + 4
= 12 – 4
= 8
RHS = 8
∴Moves in part (ii) represents monkey is going up 8 steps. Because positive integer.

3. 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?
Solution:-
From the question, it is given that
Score of team A = -40, 10, 0
Total score obtained by team A = – 40 + 10 + 0
= – 30
Score of team B = 10, 0, -40
Total score obtained by team B = 10 + 0 + (-40)
= 10 + 0 – 40
= – 30
Thus, the score of the both A team and B team is same.
Yes, we can say that we can add integers in any order.
4. Fill in the blanks to make the following statements true:
(i) (–5) + (– 8) = (– 8) + (…………)
Solution:-
Let us assume the missing integer be x,
Then,
= (–5) + (– 8) = (– 8) + (x)
= – 5 – 8 = – 8 + x
= – 13 = – 8 + x
By sending – 8 from RHS to LHS it becomes 8,
= – 13 + 8 = x
= x = – 5
Now substitute the x value in the blank place,
(–5) + (– 8) = (– 8) + (- 5) … [This equation is in the form of Commutative law of Addition]
(ii) –53 + ………… = –53
Solution:-
Let us assume the missing integer be x,
Then,
= –53 + x = –53
By sending – 53 from LHS to RHS it becomes 53,
= x = -53 + 53
= x = 0
Now substitute the x value in the blank place,
= –53 + 0 = –53 … [This equation is in the form of Closure property of Addition]
(iii) 17 + ………… = 0
Solution:-
Let us assume the missing integer be x,
Then,
= 17 + x = 0
By sending 17 from LHS to RHS it becomes -17,
= x = 0 – 17
= x = – 17
Now substitute the x value in the blank place,
= 17 + (-17) = 0 … [This equation is in the form of Closure property of Addition]
= 17 – 17 = 0
(iv) [13 + (– 12)] + (…………) = 13 + [(–12) + (–7)]
Solution:-
Let us assume the missing integer be x,
Then,
= [13 + (– 12)] + (x) = 13 + [(–12) + (–7)]
= [13 – 12] + (x) = 13 + [–12 –7]
= [1] + (x) = 13 + [-19]
= 1 + (x) = 13 – 19
= 1 + (x) = -6
By sending 1 from LHS to RHS it becomes -1,
= x = -6 – 1
= x = -7
Now substitute the x value in the blank place,
= [13 + (– 12)] + (-7) = 13 + [(–12) + (–7)] … [This equation is in the form of Associative property of Addition]
(v) (– 4) + [15 + (–3)] = [– 4 + 15] +…………
Solution:-
Let us assume the missing integer be x,
Then,
= (– 4) + [15 + (–3)] = [– 4 + 15] + x
= (– 4) + [15 – 3)] = [– 4 + 15] + x
= (-4) + [12] = [11] + x
= 8 = 11 + x
By sending 11 from RHS to LHS it becomes -11,
= 8 – 11 = x
= x = -3
Now substitute the x value in the blank place,
= (– 4) + [15 + (–3)] = [– 4 + 15] + -3 … [This equation is in the form of Associative property of Addition]

8. A cement company earns a profit of ₹ 8 per bag of white cement sold and a loss of
₹ 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?
Solution:-
We denote profit in positive integer and loss in negative integer,
From the question,
Cement company earns a profit on selling 1 bag of white cement = ₹ 8 per bag
Then,
Cement company earns a profit on selling 3000 bags of white cement = 3000 × ₹ 8
= ₹ 24000
Loss on selling 1 bag of grey cement = – ₹ 5 per bag
Then,
Loss on selling 5000 bags of grey cement = 5000 × – ₹ 5
= – ₹ 25000
Total loss or profit earned by the cement company = profit + loss
= 24000 + (-25000)
= – ₹1000
Thus, a loss of ₹ 1000 will be incurred by the company.
(b) What is the number of white cement bags it must sell to have neither profit nor loss, if the number of grey bags sold is 6,400 bags.
Solution:-
We denote profit in positive integer and loss in negative integer,
From the question,
Cement company earns a profit on selling 1 bag of white cement = ₹ 8 per bag
Let the number of white cement bags be x.
Then,
Cement company earns a profit on selling x bags of white cement = (x) × ₹ 8
= ₹ 8x
Loss on selling 1 bag of grey cement = – ₹ 5 per bag
Then,
Loss on selling 6400 bags of grey cement = 6400 × – ₹ 5
= – ₹ 32000
According to the question,
Company must sell to have neither profit nor loss.
= Profit + loss = 0
= 8x + (-32000) =0
By sending -32000 from LHS to RHS it becomes 32000
= 8x = 32000
= x = 32000/8
= x = 4000
Hence, the 4000 bags of white cement have neither profit nor loss.

5. The temperature at 12 noon was 10oC above zero. If it decreases at the rate of 2oC per hour until midnight, at what time would the temperature be 8°C below zero? What would be the temperature at mid-night?
Solution:-
From the question is given that,
Temperature at the beginning i.e., at 12 noon = 10oC
Rate of change of temperature = – 2oC per hour
Then,
Temperature at 1 PM = 10 + (-2) = 10 – 2 = 8oC
Temperature at 2 PM = 8 + (-2) = 8 – 2 = 6oC
Temperature at 3 PM = 6 + (-2) = 6 – 2 = 4oC
Temperature at 4 PM = 4 + (-2) = 4 – 2 = 2oC
Temperature at 5 PM = 2 + (-2) = 2 – 2 = 0oC
Temperature at 6 PM = 0 + (-2) = 0 – 2 = -2oC
Temperature at 7 PM = -2 + (-2) = -2 -2 = -4oC
Temperature at 8 PM = -4 + (-2) = -4 – 2 = -6oC
Temperature at 9 PM = -6 + (-2) = -6 – 2 = -8oC
∴At 9 PM the temperature will be 8oC below zero
Then,
The temperature at mid-night i.e., at 12 AM
Change in temperature in 12 hours = -2oC × 12 = – 24oC
So, at midnight temperature will be = 10 + (-24)
= – 14oC
So, at midnight temperature will be 14oC below 0.
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?
Solution:-
From the question,
Marks awarded for 1 correct answer = + 3

= 20 – 36
= – 16
So, the number of incorrect answers made by Radhika = (-16) ÷ (-2)
= 8
(ii) Mohini scored -5 marks
Then,
Total marks awarded for 7 correct answers = 7 × 3 = 21
Marks awarded for incorrect answers = Total score – Total marks awarded for 12 correct
Answers
= – 5 – 21
= – 26
So, the number of incorrect answers made by Mohini = (-26) ÷ (-2)
= 13
7. An elevator descends into a mine shaft at the rate of 6 m/min. If the descent starts from 10 m above the ground level, how long will it take to reach – 350 m.
Solution:-
From the question,
The initial height of the elevator = 10 m
Final depth of elevator = – 350 m … [∵distance descended is denoted by a negative
integer]
The total distance to descended by the elevator = (-350) – (10)
= – 360 m
Then,
Time taken by the elevator to descend -6 m = 1 min
So, time taken by the elevator to descend – 360 m = (-360) ÷ (-60)
= 60 minutes
= 1 hour
