Exercise 1.1
Question 1:
Following number line shows the temperature in degree Celsius (oC) at different places
on a particular 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 1:
(a) The temperature of the places marked on it is:
Places Temperature Places Temperature
Bangalore 22 C
o Srinagar –2oC
Ooty 14oC Lahulspiti –8oC
Shimla 5oC
(b) The temperature of the hottest place Bangalore = 22oC
The temperature of the coldest place Lahulspiti = –8oC
Difference = 22oC – (–8oC) = 22oC + 8oC = 30oC
(c) The temperature of Srinagar = –2oC
The temperature of Lahulspiti = –8oC
Difference = –2oC + (–8oC) = –2oC –8oC = 6oC
(d) The temperature of Srinagar and Shimla = 5oC + (–2oC) = 5oC –2oC = 3oC
The temperature at Shimla = 5oC
Therefore, 3oC < 5oC
Thus, temperature of Srinagar and Shimla taken together is less than the
temperature at Shimla.
Now, Temperature of Srinagar = –2oC
Therefore, 3oC > –2oC
No, it is not less than the temperature at Srinagar.
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 2:
Jack’s scores in five successive rounds are 25, 5, 10,15 and 10.

Total marks got by Jack = 25   5    10   15  10

= 25 – 15 + 25 = 35
Thus, 35 marks are got by Jack in a quiz.

Question 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?
Answer 3:
On Monday, temperature at Srinagar = –5oC
On Tuesday, temperature dropped = 2oC
 Temperature on Tuesday = –5oC – 2oC = –7oC
On Wednesday, temperature rose up = 4oC
 Temperature on Wednesday = –7oC + 4oC = –3oC

Thus, temperature on Tuesday and 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 4:
Height of a place above the sea level = 5000 m
Floating a submarine below the sea level = 1200 m
 The vertical distance between the plane and the submarine
= 5000 + 1200 = 6200 m
Thus, the vertical distance between the plane and the submarine is 6200 m.

Question 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 accounts after the
withdrawal?
Answer 5:
Deposit amount = ₹2,000 and Withdrawal amount = ₹1,642

 Balance = 2,000 – 1,642 = ₹358

Thus, the balance in Mohan’s account after withdrawal is ₹ 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 6:
West Û Û Û East

C O A B
According to the number line, Rita moves towards east is represented by a positive
integer. But she moves in opposite direction means Rita moves west, is represented by
negative integer.
Distance from A to B = 20 km
Distance from B to C = 30 km
Distance from A to C = 20 – 30 = –10 km
Thus, Rita is at final position from A to C is –10 km.

Question 7:
In a magic square each row, column and diagonal have the same sum. Check which of the
following is a magic square.

Answer 7:
(i) Taking rows 5 + (–1) + (–4) = 5 – 5 = 0
(–5) + (-2) + 7 = –7 + 7 = 0
0 + 3 + (–3) = 3 – 3 = 0
Taking columns 5 + (–5) + 0 = 5 – 5 = 0
(–1) + (–2) + 3 = –3 + 3 = 0
(–4) + 7 + (–3) = 7 – 7 = 0
Taking diagonals 5 + (–2) + (–3) = 5 – 5 = 0
 (–4) + (–2) + 0 = –6
This box is not a magic square because all the sums are not equal.

(ii) Taking rows 1 + (–10) + 0 = 1 – 10 = –9

(–4) + (–3) + (–2) = –7 – 2 = –9
(–6) + 4 + (–7) = –2 – 7 = –9
Taking columns 1 + (–4) + (–6) = 1 – 10 = –9
(–10) + (–3) + 4 = –13 + 4 = –9
0 + (–2) + (–7) = 0 – 9 = –9
Taking diagonals 1 + (–3) + (–7) = 1 – 10 = –9
0 + (–3) + (–6) = –9
This box is magic square because all the sums are equal.

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 move 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  represent going down by eight steps. So, what will the
sum 8 in (b) represent?

Answer 10:
(i) He jumps 3 steps down and jumps back 2 steps up. Following number ray
shows the jumps of monkey:

First jump = 1 + 3 = 4 steps

 Second jump = 4 – 2 = 2 steps
Third jump = 2 + 3 = 5 steps
Fourth jump = 5 – 2 = 3 steps
Fifth jump = 3 + 3 = 6 steps
Sixth jump = 6 – 2 = 4 steps
Seventh jump = 4 + 3 = 7 steps
Eighth jump = 7 – 2 = 5 steps
Ninth jump = 5 + 3 = 8 steps
Tenth jump = 8 – 2 = 6 steps
Eleventh jump = 6 + 3 = 9 steps
He will reach ninth steps in 11 jumps.

(ii) He jumps four steps and then jumps down 2 steps. Following number ray
shows the jumps of monkey:

Thus monkey reach back on the first step in fifth jump.

(iii) (a) 3  2  3  2  3  2  3  2  3  2  3  2  3  2  3  2  8
(b) 4  2  4  2  4  2  4  2  8
Thus, sum 8 in (b) represents going up by eight steps.

Question 3:
In a quiz, team A scored 40,10, 0 and team B scores 10, 0, 40 in three successive
rounds. Which team scored more? Can we say that we can add integers in any order?
Answer 3:
Team A scored 40,10, 0
Total score of Team A = 40  10  0  30
Team B scored 10, 0, 40
Total score of Team B = 10  0   40   10  0  40  30

Thus, scores of both teams are same.

Yes, we can add integers in any order due to commutative property.

Question 6:
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 6:
Given: Present room temperature = 40oC
Decreasing the temperature every hour = 5oC
Room temperature after 10 hours = 40oC + 10 x (–5oC )
= 40oC – 50oC
= – 10oC
Thus, the room temperature after 10 hours is – 10oC after the process begins.

Question 7:
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 7:
(i) Mohan gets marks for four correct questions = 4 x 5 = 20
He gets marks for six incorrect questions = 6 x (–2) = –12
Therefore, total scores of Mohan = (4 x 5) + [6 x (–2)]
= 20 – 12 = 8
Thus, Mohan gets 8 marks in a class test.

(ii) Reshma gets marks for five correct questions = 5 x 5 = 25

She gets marks for five incorrect questions = 5 x (–2) = –10
Therefore, total score of Resham = 25 + (–10) = 15
Thus, Reshma gets 15 marks in a class test.

(iii) Heena gets marks for two correct questions = 2 x 5 = 10

She gets marks for five incorrect questions = 5 x (–2) = –10
Therefore, total score of Resham = 10 + (–10) = 0
Thus, Reshma gets 0 marks in a class test.

Question 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?
(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.
Answer 8:
Given: Profit of 1 bag of white cement = ₹ 8
And Loss of 1 bag of grey cement = ₹ 5
(a) Profit on selling 3000 bags of white cement = 3000 x ₹ 8 = ₹ 24,000
Loss of selling 5000 bags of grey cement = 5000 x ₹ 5 = ₹ 25,000
SinceProfit < Loss
Therefore, his total loss on selling the grey cement bags = Loss – Profit
= ₹ 25,000 – ₹ 24,000
= ₹ 1,000
Thus, he has lost of `₹1,000 on selling the grey cement bags.
 (b) Let the number of bags of white cement be x.
According to question, Loss = Profit
 5 x 6,400 = x x 8
5  6400
 x = 5000 bags
8
Thus, he must sell 4000 white cement bags to have neither profit nor loss.

Question 5:
The temperature at 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 5:
Following number line is representing the temperature:

The temperature decreases 2oC = 1 hour

 1
The temperature decreases 1oC = hour
2
1
The temperature decreases 18oC = 18 = 9 hours
2
Total time = 12 noon + 9 hours = 21 hours = 9 pm

Thus, at 9 pm the temperature would be 8oC below 0oC.

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 6:
(i) Marks given for one correct answer = 3
Marks given for 12 correct answers = 3 x 12 = 36
Radhika scored 20 marks.
Therefore, Marks obtained for incorrect answers = 20 – 36 = –16
Now, marks given for one incorrect answer = –2
Therefore, number of incorrect answers =  16    2   8
Thus, Radhika has attempted 8 incorrect questions.

(ii) Marks given for seven correct answers = 3 x 7 = 21

Mohini scores = –5
Marks obtained for incorrect answers = = –5 – 21 = –26
Now, marks given for one incorrect answer = –2
Therefore, number of incorrect answers =  26    2   13

Thus, Mohini has attempted 13 incorrect questions.

Question 7:
An elevator descends into a mine shaft at the rate of 6 m/min. If the descent starts from
10 above the ground level, how long will it take to reach 350 m?

Answer 7:
Starting position of mine shaft is 10 m above the ground but it moves in opposite
direction so it travels the distance (–350) m below the ground.
So total distance covered by mine shaft = 10 m – (–350) m = 10 + 350 = 360 m
Now, time taken to cover a distance of 6 m by it = 1 minute
1
So, time taken to cover a distance of 1 m by it = minute
6
1
Therefore, time taken to cover a distance of 360 m =  360
6
= 60 minutes = 1 hour
(Since 60 minutes = 1 hour)
Thus, in one hour the mine shaft reaches –350 below the ground.

Question 7:
Dinesh went from place A to place B and from there to place C. A is 7.5 km from B and B
is 12.7 km from C. Ayub went from place A to place D and from there to place C. D is 9.3
km from A and C is 11.8 km from D. Who travelled more and by how much?

Answer 7:
Distance travelled by Dinesh when he went from place A to place B = 7.5 km and from
place B to C = 12.7 km.

Total distance covered by Dinesh = AB + BC

= 7.5 + 12.7 = 20.2 km
Total distance covered by Ayub = AD + DC
= 9.3 + 11.8 = 21.1 km
On comparing the total distance of Ayub and Dinesh,
21.1 km > 20.2 km
Therefore, Ayub covered more distance by 21.1 – 20.2 = 0.9 km = 900 m
Question 8:
Shyam bought 5 kg 300 g apples and 3 kg 250 g mangoes. Sarala bought 4 kg 800 g
oranges and 4 kg 150 g bananas. Who bought more fruits?
Answer 8:
Total weight of fruits bought by Shyam = 5 kg 300 g + 3 kg 250 g = 8 kg 550 g
Total weight of fruits bought by Sarala = 4 kg 800 g + 4 kg 150 g = 8 kg 950 g

On comparing the quantity of fruits, 8 kg 550 g < 8 kg 950 g

Therefore, Sarala bought more fruits.

Question 9:
How much less is 28 km than 42.6 km?
Answer 9:
We have to find the difference of 42.6 km and 28 km.
Difference = 42.6 – 28.0 = 14.6 km
Therefore 14.6 km less is 28 km than 42.6 km.

Question 6:
A vehicle covers a distance of 43.2 km in 2.4 litres of petrol. How much distance will it
cover in one litre petrol?
Answer 6:
In 2.4 litres of petrol, distance covered by the vehicle = 43.2 km
 In 1 litre of petrol, distance covered by the vehicle = 43.2  2.4
432 24 432 24
=  = 
