Question 11:

In the given question out of the four option one is correct : 
Water level in a well was 20m below ground level. During rainy season, rain water collected in different water tanks was drained into the well and the water level rises 5 m above the previous level. The wall of the well is 1m 20 cm high and a pulley is fixed at a height of 80 cm. Raghu wants to draw water from the well. The minimum length of the rope that he can use is

(a) 17 m         
(b) 18 m
(c) 96 m
(d) 97 m

Answer:

Wall of the well = 1 m 20 cm
= 1.2 m
Height of the pulley = 80 cm
= 0.8 m
Now,
Initial water level in the well = –20m
After rising, the water level becomes = –20 + 5
= –15 m
So, total height above ground = 1.2 m + 0.8 m
= 2 m
And total height below ground = 15 m
Thus,
Minimum length of rope = 15 + 2
= 17 m

Hence, the correct answer is option (a).

Hydroxide ion charge = Proton charge + Electron charge
⇒ −1 = +9 + Electron charge
⇒ Electron charge = −1 − 9 = −10

Sodium ion charge = Proton charge + Electron charge
⇒ +1 = +11 + Electron charge
⇒ Electron charge = +1 − 11 = −10

Aluminium ion charge = Proton charge + Electron charge

Question 119:

(a) Write a positive integer and a negative integer whose sum is a negative integer.
(b) Write a positive integer and a negative integer whose sum is a positive integer.
(c) Write a positive integer and a negative integer whose difference is a negative integer.
(d) Write a positive integer and a negative integer whose difference is a positive integer.
(e) Write two integers which are smaller than – 5 but their difference is – 5.
(f) Write two integers which are greater than – 10 but their sum is smaller than – 10.
(g) Write two integers which are greater than – 4 but their difference is smaller than – 4.
(h) Write two integers which are smaller than – 6 but their difference is greater than – 6.
(i) Write two negative integers whose difference is 7.
(j) Write two integers such that one is smaller than –11, and other is greater than –11 but their difference is –11.
(k) Write two integers whose product is smaller than both the integers.
(l) Write two integers whose product is greater than both the integers.

Answer:

(a)  Positive integer = 4 
Negative integer = –9
Their sum = 4 + (–9) = 4 – 9 = –5
Thus, a positive integer and a negative integer whose sum is a negative integer are 4 and –9.

(b) Positive integer = –4 
Negative integer = 9
Their sum = –4 + (9) = –4 + 9 = 5
Thus, a positive integer and a negative integer whose sum is a positive integer –4 and 9.

(c) Positive integer = 7 
Negative integer = –5
Their sum = –5 – (7) = –5 – 7 = –12
Thus, a positive integer and a negative integer whose difference is a negative integer are –7 and 5.

(d) Positive integer = 7 
Negative integer = –9
Their sum = 7 – (–9) = 7 + 9 = 16
Thus, a positive integer and a negative integer whose difference is a positive integer are 7 and –9.

(e) Two integers which are smaller than – 5 are –10 and – 15 such that, 

Their difference = –15 – (– 10) = –15 + 10 = – 5
Thus, two integers which are smaller than – 5 but their difference is – 5 are –10 and – 15.

(f) Two integers which are greater than –10 are –9 and 1 such that, 
Their sum = –9 – (1) = – 9 – 1 = – 10
Thus, two integers which are greater than – 10 but their sum is smaller than – 10.

(g) Two integers which are greater than – 4 are 3 and –2 such that, 
Their difference = –2 – (3) = –2 – 3 = –5
Thus, two integers which are greater than – 4 but their difference is smaller than – 4 are 3 and –2.

(h) Two integers which are smaller than – 6 are –7 and 5 such that
Their difference = 5 – (–7) = 5 + 7 = 12
 Thus, two integers which are smaller than – 6 but their difference is greater than – 6 are –7 and 5.

(i) Two negative integers are –13 and –20.
Their difference = –13 – (–20) = –13 + 20 = 7
Thus, two negative integers whose difference is 7 are –13 and –20.

(j) Integer smaller than –11 = –12,
Integer greater than –11 = –1
Their difference = –12 –(–1) = –12 + 1 = –11.
Thus, two integers such that one is smaller than –11, and other is greater than –11 but their difference is –11 are –12 and –1.

(k) Two integers are –3 and 5 
Their product = –3 × 5 = –15
Thus, two integers whose product is smaller than both the integers are –3 and 5.

(l) Two integers are 3 and 5
Their product = 3 × 5 = 15 
Thus, two integers whose product is greater than both the integers are 3 and 5.

Question 120:

What’s the Error? Ramu evaluated the expression –7 – (–3) and came up with the answer –10. What did Ramu do wrong?

Answer:

7 − (−3) = −7 + 3 = −4
But Ramu evaluated the expression –7 – (–3) as 10 i.e., −7 − 3 = −10.
∴ Ramu has done addition in place of subtraction.

Question 121:

What’s the Error? Reeta evaluated –4 + d for d = –6 and gave an answer of 2. What might Reeta have done wrong?

Answer:

Given: −4 + d, d = −6
∴  −4 + (−6) = −10
But −4 − (−6) = −4 + 6 = 2
Hence, Reeta has done subtraction in place of addition.

Question 122:

The table given below shows the elevations relative to sea level of four locations.
Taking sea level as zero, answer the following questions:

Location Elevation (in m)
A  –180
B 1600
C –55
D 3200
(a) Which location is closest to sea level?
(b) Which location is farthest from sea level?
(c) Arrange the locations from the least to the greatest elevation.
 

Answer:

(a) C is closest to sea level.
(b) D is farthest from sea level.
(c) Since, 180 < 55 < 1600 < 3200.
∴ The lowest to greatest elevation locations are A < C < B < D.

Question 123:

You are at an elevation 380 m above sea level as you start a motor ride. During the ride, your elevation changes by the following metres:
540 m, –268 m, 116 m, –152 m, 490 m, –844 m, 94 m. What is your elevation relative to the sea level at the end of the ride?

Answer:

Elevation relative to the sea level at the end of the ride
= [380 + 540 – 268 + 116 -152 + 490 – 844 + 94] m
= [380 + 540 + 116 + 490 + 94 – 268 – 152 – 844] m
= [1620 – 1264] m
= 356 m

Question 124:

Evaluate the following, using distributive property.
(i) – 39 × 99
(ii) (– 85) × 43 + 43 × ( – 15)
(iii) 53 × ( – 9) – ( – 109) × 53
(iv) 68 × (–17) + ( –68) × 3

Answer:

(i) −39 × 99 = −39 × [100 − 1]
                    = −39 × 100 + (−39) × (−1)
                    = −3900 + 39
                    = −3861

(ii) (−85) × 43 + 43 × (−15)
= 43 × (−85) + 43 × (−15)
= 43 × [−85 − 15]
= 43 × [−100]
= −4300

(iii) 53 × (−9) − (−109) × 53
= 53 × (−9) − 53 × (−109)
= 53 × [(−9) − (−109)]
= 53 × [−9 + 109]
= 53 × 100
= 5300

(iv) 68 × (−17) + (−68) × 3
= 68 × (−17) + 68 × (−3)
= 68 × [(−17) + (−3)]
= 68 × (−20)
= −1360

Question 125:

If * is an operation such that for integers a and b we have a * b = a × b + (a × a + b × b) then find
(i) ( – 3) * (– 5)
(ii) ( – 6) * 2

Answer:

(i) We have, a * b = a × b +(a × a + b × b)
Now, put a = (−3) and b = (−5)
(−3) * (−5) = (−3) × (−5) + [(−3) × (−3) + (−5) × (−5)]
                  = 15 + (9 + 25)
                  = 15 + 34
                  = 49

(ii) Now, put a = – 6 and b = 2
(−6) * 2 = (−6) × 2 +[(−6) × (−6) + 2 × 2
              = −6 × 2 + (36 + 4)
              = −12 + 40

Question 126:

If âˆ† is an operation such that for integers a and b we have a âˆ† b = a × b – 2 × a × b + b × b (–a) × b + b × b then find
(i) 4 âˆ† ( – 3)
(ii) ( – 7) âˆ† ( – 1)
Also show that 4 âˆ† ( – 3) ≠ (– 3) âˆ† 4 and ( – 7) âˆ† ( – 1) ≠ ( – 1) âˆ† (– 7)

Answer:

Given: a âˆ† b = a × b – 2 × a × b + b × b (–a) × b + b × b

(i) 4 Δ (–3) = 4 × (–3) – 2 × 4 × (–3) + (–3) × (–3)(–4) × (–3) + (–3) × (–3)
                   = –12 + 24 + 108 + 9
                   = 129 

(ii) (–7) Δ (–1) = (–7) × (–1) – 2 × (–7) × (–1) + (–1) × (–1) (7) × (–1) + (–1) × (–1)
                         = 7 – 14 – 7 + 1
                         = 8 – 21
                         = –13

Now, (–3) Δ 4 = (–3) × 4 – 2 × (–3) ×(4) + 4 × 4(3) × 4 + 4 × 4
                       = –12 + 24 + 192 + 16
                       = –12 + 232
                       = 220

But 4 Δ (–3) = 129
∴ 4 Δ (–3) ≠ (–3) Δ 4
And, (–1) Δ (–7) = (–1) × (–7) – 2 × (–1) × (–7) + (–7) × (–7)(1) × (–7) + (–7) × (–7)
                           = 7 – 14 – 343 + 49
                           = 56 – 357
                           = –301
But (–7) Δ (–1) = –13
∴ (–7) Δ (–1) ≠ (–1) Δ (–7)

Question 127:

Below u, v, w and x represent different integers, where u = –4 and x ≠ 1. By using following equations, find each of the values:
u × v = u
 x × w = w
u + x = w

(a) v
(b) w
(c) x
Explain your reasoning using the properties of integers.

Answer:

(a) u × v = u and u = –4
∴ –4 × v = –4
v = l (Multiplicative identity)

(b) x × w = w. Given that x ≠ 1
x × w = w is only possible when w = 0

(c) u + x = w, Putting u = – 4 and w = 0
∴ –4 + x = 0
x = 4

Question 128:

Height of a place A is 1800 m above sea level. Another place B is 700 m below sea level. What is the difference between the levels of these two places?

Answer:

Given: Height of place A above sea level = 1800 m
Height of place B below sea level = 700 m
The difference between the levels of places A and B = [1800 − (−700)] m
                                                                                    = [1800 + 700] m
                                                                                    = 2500 m

Thus, the difference between the levels of these two places is 2500 m.

Question 130:

Sana and Fatima participated in an apple race. The race was conducted in 6 parts. In the first part, Sana won by 10 seconds. In the second part she lost by 1 minute, then won by 20 seconds in the third part and lost by 25 seconds in the fourth part, she lost by 37 seconds in the fifth part and won by 12 seconds in the last part. Who won the race finally?

Answer:

Considering winning by time be a positive integer and losing by time be a negative integer.
∴ Sana’s total time (winning/losing)
= (10 – 60 + 20 − 25 − 37 + 12) seconds
= (42 − 122) seconds
= − 80 seconds

∴ Sana lost the race by 80 seconds or 1 min. 20 seconds.
Thus, Fatima won the race finally.

(i) How many incorrect answers has she attempted?
(ii) How many questions were given in the test?

Answer:

(i) Total marks scored by Sona = 20
Total correct answers = 10
∴ Marks for correct answers = 10 × 3 = 30
Marks scored by her = 20
∴ Marks for incorrect answers = 20 − 30 = −10
−1 mark is given for every incorrect answer.
∴  Total incorrect answers  =-10-1 = 10

(ii) Total correct answers = 10
Total incorrect answers = 10 (From (i) part)
∴ Total questions given in the test = 10 + 10 = 20

Question 134:

A multistorey building has 25 floors above the ground level each of height 5m. It also has 3 floors in the basement each of height 5m. A lift in building moves at a rate of 1m/s. If a man starts from 50m above the ground, how long will it take him to reach at 2nd floor of basement?

Answer:

Height of each floor = 5 m
∴ Height below the basement to be covered = 2 × 5 m = 10 m
His total distance to be covered = (50 + 10) m = 60 m
Rate of moving of a lift = 1 m/s
∴ A man reaches at 2nd floor of the basement in 1 × 60 = 60 seconds or 1 minute.
