#### Question 10:

A car travelled 60 km to the north of Patna and then 90 km to the south from there. How far from Patna was the car finally?

Let the distance covered in the direction of north be positive and that in the direction of south be negative.

Distance travelled to the north of Patna = 60 km
Distance travelled to the south of Patna = -90 km
Total distance travelled by the car = 60 + (​-90)
= -30 km
The car was 30 km south of Patna.

#### Question 11:

A man bought some pencils for Rs 30 and some pens for Rs 90. The next day, he again bought some pencils for Rs 25. Then, he sold all the pencils for Rs 20 and the pens for Rs 70. What was his net gain or loss?

Total cost price  = Price of pencils + Price of pens
= 30 + 90 + 25
= Rs 145

Total amount sold = Price of pen + Price of pencils
= 20 + 70
= 90
Selling price - costing price = 90 $-$ 145
= $-$55
The negative sign implies loss.
Hence, his net loss was Rs 55.

For example: 100 + (-100) = 0

(iv) False
For example: (-5) + 2 + 3 = 0

(v) False
|-5| = 5  and | -3 | = 3, 5 > 3

#### Question 7:

Find 34 − (−72) and (−72) − 34. Are they equal?

No, they are not equal.

34 − (−72)
= 34 +
72
​= 106

(−72) − 34
= −72
34
106

Since 106 is not equal to −106, the two expressions are not equal.

#### Question 8:

The sum of two integers is −13. If one of the numbers is 170, find the other.

Let the other integer be x.
According to question, we have:
x + 170 =  −13
=> x = −13 − 170
=>  x = −183
Thus, the other integer is −183
.

#### Question 9:

The sum of two integers is 65. If one of the integers is −47, find the other.

Let the other integer be x.
According to question, we have:
x + (−47) = 65
=> x − 47 = 65
=>  x = 65 + 47
=> x = 112
Thus, the other integer is 112.

#### Question 10:

Which of the following statements are true and which are false?
(i) The sum of two integers is always an integer.
(ii) The difference of two integers is always an integer.
(iii) −14 > −8 − (−7)
(iv) −5 − 2 > −8
(v) (−7) − 3 = (−3) − (−7)

(i) True
An integer added to an integer gives an integer.

(ii) True
An integer subtracted from an integer gives an integer.

iii) False
−8 − (−7)
= −8 + 7
= −1
Since 14 is greater than 1, −1 is greater than −14.

iv) True
−5 − 2 = −7
Since 8 is greater than 7, −7 is greater than −8.
− 7 > −8

​v) False
L.H.S.
(−7) − 3 = −10
R.H.S.
(−3) − (−7)
= (−3) + 7
= 4
$\therefore$ L.H.S. $\ne$ R.H.S.

#### Question 11:

The point A is on a mountain which is 5700 metres above sea level and the point B is in a mine which is 39600 metres below sea level. Find the vertical distance between A and B.
Figure

Let us consider the height above the sea level as positive and that below the sea level as negative.
$\therefore$ Height of point A from sea level = 5700 m
Depth of point B from sea level = -39600 m
Vertical distance between A and B = Distance of point A from sea level - Distance of point B from sea level
= 5700 - (​-39600)
= 45300 m

#### Question 12:

On a day in Srinagar, the temperature at 6 p.m. was 1°C but at midnight that day, it dropped to −4°C. By how many degrees Celsius did the temperature fall?

Initial temperature of Srinagar at 6 p.m. = 1°C
Final temperature of Srinagar at midnight = −4°C
Change in temperature = Final temperature - Initial temperature
​= (−4 − 1)°C
= −5°C
So, the temperature has changed by −5°C.
The negative sign indicates that the temperature has fallen.
So, the temperature has fallen by 5°C.

Four integers less than –6 (i.e. four negative integers that lie to the left of –6) are –7, –8, –9 and –10.
Four integers greater than –6 (i.e. four negative integers that lie to the right of –6 ) are –5, –4, –3 and –2.

#### Question 6:

Evaluate:
(i) 8 + (−16)
(ii) (−5) + (−6)
(iii) (−6) × (−8)
(iv) (−36) ÷ 6
(v) 30 − (−50)
(vi) (−40) ÷ (−10)
(vii) 8 × (−5)
(viii) (−30) − 15

(i) 8 + (–16)
= 8 – 16
= –8

(ii) (–5) + (–6)
= –5 – 6
= –11

(iii) (–6) × (–8)
= (6 × 8)
= 48

(iv) (–36) ÷ 6

(v)
30 – (–50)
= 30 + 50
= 80

(vi) (–40) ÷ (–10)
$\begin{array}{l}=\frac{-40}{-10}\\ =\frac{\left(-1\right)×40}{\left(-1\right)×10}\\ =4\end{array}$

(vii) 8 × (–5)
= –(8 × 5)
= –40

(viii) (–30) – 15
= –30 – 15
= –45

#### Question 7:

The sum of two integers is −12. If one of them is 34, find the other.

Let the integer be x.
$\therefore$ 34 + x = –12
or x = –12 – 34
or x = –46
Therefore, the other integer is –46.

#### Question 8:

Simplify:
(i) (−24) × (68) + (−24) × 32
(ii) (−9) × 18 (−9) × 8
(iii) (−147) ÷ (−21)
(iv) 16 ÷ (−1)

(i) (–24) × (68) + (–24) × 32
= –(24) × (68+32)
= –24 × 100
= –2400

(ii) (–9) × 18 – (–9) × 8
= –(9 ) × [18 – 8]
= –9 × 10
= –90

(iii) (–147) ÷ (–21)

$\begin{array}{l}=\frac{-147}{-21}\\ =\frac{\left(-1\right)×147}{\left(-1\right)×21}\\ =\frac{\left(-1\right)}{\left(-1\right)}×\frac{147}{21}\\ =7\end{array}$

(iv) 16 ÷ (–1)

$\begin{array}{l}=\frac{16}{-1}\\ =\frac{16×\left(-1\right)}{\left(-1\right)×\left(-1\right)}\\ =16×\left(-1\right)\\ =-16\end{array}$   {Multiplying the numerator and the denominator by (–1)}

#### Question 9:

The successor of −89 is
(a) −90
(b) −88
(c) 90
(d) 88

(b) −88
The successor of −89 is ​−88. The successor of a number lies towards its right on a number line. ​
−88 lies to the right of ​−89.

#### Question 10:

The predecessor of −99 is
(a) −98
(b) −100
(c) 98
(d) 100

(b) ​−100
The predecessor of a number lies to the left of the number.
​​−100 lies to the left of −​99. Hence, ​​−100 is a predecessor of −​99.

#### Question 11:

Additive inverse of −23 is
(a) $\frac{-1}{23}$
(b) $\frac{1}{23}$
(c) 23
(d) −23

(c) ​23
Additive inverse of a number added to the number gives 0.
23 + 23 = 0
Hence, 23 is the additive inverse of  −23.

#### Question 12:

If , then the correct symbol in the place holder is
(a) <
(b) >
(c) =
(d) none of these

(b) >

L.H.S. > R.H.S.

? + (−8) = 12
(a) −4
(−20)
(c) 20
(d) 4

(c) 20

x + (−8) = 12
=> x − 8 = 12
=> x = 12 + 8
=> x = 20

#### Question 14:

The integer which is 5 more that (−7) is
(a) −12
(b) 12
(c) −2
(d) 2

(c) -2

5 more than (−7) means 5 added to (−7).
5 + (7)

= 2

#### Question 15:

What should be added to 16 to get (−31)?
(a) 15
(b) −15
(c) 47
(d) −47

(d) −47
Let the number to be added to 16 be x.
x + 16 = (−31)
=> x = (−31)−16
=> x = −47

#### Question 16:

When 34 is subtracted from −36, we get
(a) 2
(b) −2
(c) 70
(d) −70

(d) −70
−36 ​− 34
= −70
