18. In a game Mishala scored 20, -40, 10 and Meera scored -40, 10, 20. Who scored more and can we
add scores (integers) in any order?
Ans Since, Mishala scored 20, -40, 10.
Therefore, total score of Mishala is = 20 - 40 + 10
= -20 + 10
= -10
And since, Meera scored - 40, 10, 20
Therefore, total score of Meera is = -40 + 10 + 20
= -30 + 20 -10
Hence, both scored same points in a game but in a different order.
Yes, we can add integers in any order.
19. 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?
Ans Temperature on Monday -5°C
Temperature on Tuesday = Temperature on Monday - 2°C
= - 5°C - 2°C = - 7°C
Temperature on Wednesday = Temperature on Tuesday + 4°C
= -7°C + 4°C = -3°C
Therefore, the temperature on Tuesday and Wednesday was -7°C and -3°C respectively.
20. In the given figure 𝑙 ∥ 𝑚. Find the value of a, b and c.

Ans Given 𝑙 ∥ 𝑚

c = 55° (alternate interior angle)

a = 45° (alternate interior angle)

a + b + c = 180° (Angle on straight line)

45° + b + 55° = 180°

b + 100° = 180°

b = 180° - 100° = 80°

21. The sum of two consecutive natural numbers is 151. Find the numbers.

Ans let the two consecutive natural numbers be x , x + 1

A.T.Q

x + x + 1 = 151

2x + 1 = 151

2x = 151 - 1 = 150

x = 150/2 = 75

x +1 = 75 + 1 = 76

22. a) Verify 27 x [6 + (-4)] = [27 x 6] + [27 x (-4) ] and mention the property used.

Ans L.H.S 27 x [6 + (-4)] = 27 x 2 = 54

R.H.S [27 x 6] + [27 x (-4) ] = 162 + (-108)

= 54

L.H.S = R.H.S

Property : Distributive property

b) Find the value of (-27) + 127 + (-75) + (-5) .

Ans (-27) + 127 + (-75) + (-5) = 127 + (- 107)

= 20

23. There are 45 people living in a building. Out of these, 3
are men, 5
women and the rest are

children. Find the number of men, women and children living in the building.

Ans Total people = 45

1
Men = 3
✕45 = 15 men

1
Women = 5
✕45 = 9 women

Children = 45 - (15 + 9)

= 45 - 24 = 21

24. In the given figure 𝑙∥𝑚 . Find the measure of angles a, b, c and d.

25. Find the value of x, y and z from the given figure.

Ans z = 40° (vertically opposite angle)

40° + x + 30° = 180 (angles on one side of straight line )

x + 70° = 180°
 x = 180° -70° =110°

40° + y = 180° (linear pair )

y = 180° - 40° = 140°

x = 110° , y = 140° , z = 40°

27. a) Find the root of the equation 5 (x - 3) = 4 (x - 2)

Ans 5 (x - 3) = 4 (x - 2)

5x - 15 = 4x - 8

5x - 4x = - 8 + 15

x =7

b) Write equation for the statement : 5 added to one third of a number gives 10
1
Ans 3
𝑥 + 5 = 10

c) Write the given equation in statement form : 2x + 8 = 14

Ans eight added to a twice a number gives fourteen.
