Options

Option A

30

Option B

-30

Option C is correct

Question 6

1 Mark

Find the odd one out of the four options in the following:

Options

Option A

(–2, 24)

Option B is correct

(–3, 10)

Option C

(–4, 12)

Option D

(–6, 8)

Explanation

All the pairs i.e. (–2, 24); (–4, 12); (–6, 8) give same answer on multiplication, whereas –3 × 10 = –30, gives a different answer. So, odd one is (–3, 10)

Question 7

1 Mark

(–5) × (–7) is same as (–7) × (–5)

Options

Option A is correct

True

Option B

False

Question 8

1 Mark

(– 80) ÷ (4) is not same as 80 ÷ (–4)

Options

Option A

True

Option B is correct

False

Question 9

1 Mark

Find the odd one out of the four options given below:

Options

Option A

(–3, –6)

Option B

(+1, –10)

Option C

(–2, –7)

Option D is correct

(–4, –9)

Explanation

All of these pairs i.e. (–3, –6); (+1, –10); (–2, –7) give same answer on adding, whereas – 4 + (–9) = –13, gives a different answer. So, odd one out is (–4, –9).

Question 10

1 Mark

Write a pair of integers whose sum is zero (0) but difference is 10.

Model Answer

The required pair of integers is 5 and -5. Their sum is 5 + (-5) = 0, and their difference is 5 - (-5) = 10.

Question 11

1 Mark

Write two integers which are smaller than –3, but their difference is greater than –3.

Model Answer

Two integers smaller than -3 are -4 and -5. Their difference is -4 - (-5) = 1, which is greater than -3.

Question 12

1 Mark

Write a pair of integers whose product is – 15 and whose difference is 8.

Model Answer

The pair of integers is 3 and -5. Their product is 3 × (-5) = -15, and their difference is 3 - (-5) = 8.

Question 13

1 Mark

If && is an operation such that for integers a and b we have a && b = a × a + b × b – a × b, then find (–3) && 2.

Model Answer

Given a && b=a2+b2aba \ \&\& \ b = a^2 + b^2 - ab. For a=3a = -3 and b=2b = 2, we get: (3) && 2=(3)2+22(3)(2)=9+4+6=19(-3) \ \&\& \ 2 = (-3)^2 + 2^2 - (-3)(2) = 9 + 4 + 6 = 19.

Question 14

1 Mark

In an objective type test containing 25 questions. A student is to be awarded +5 marks for every correct answer, –5 for every incorrect answer and zero for not writing any answer. Mention the ways of scoring 110 marks by a student.

Model Answer

A student can score 110 marks in two ways: 1. 22 correct, 0 incorrect, and 3 unattempted. 2. 23 correct, 1 incorrect, and 1 unattempted.

Question 15

1 Mark

A boy standing on the third stair on a staircase goes up by five more stairs. Which stair is he standing at now? At which step will he be after he comes down by 2 stairs?

Model Answer

The boy is now at the 8th stair (3 + 5 = 8). After coming down by 2 stairs, he will be at the 6th stair (8 - 2 = 6).
