Integers
Exercise 1.1
Question 1:

Write down a pair of integers whose:

(a) sum is − 7

(b) difference is − 10

(c) sum is 0

Answer:

(a) − 8 + (+1) = −7

(b) − 12 − (−2) = −10

(c) 5 + (−5) = 0

Question 2:

(a) Write a pair of negative integers whose difference gives 8.

(b) Write a negative integer and a positive integer whose sum is − 5.

(c) Write a negative integer and a positive integer whose difference is − 3.

Answer:

(a) −2 − (−10) = 8

(b) −8 + 3 = −5

(c) −2 − (+1) = −3

Question 3:

In a quiz, team A scored − 40, 10, 0 and team B scored 10, 0 − 40 in three successive
rounds. Which team scored more? Can we say that we can add integers in any order?

Answer:

Team A scored − 40, 10, 0.


Total score = − 40 + 10 + 0

= −30

Team B scored 10, 0, −40.

Total score = 10 + 0 + (−40)

= −30

∴ The scores of both teams are equal.

Yes, we can add integers in any order. We had observed that the scores obtained by both
teams in successive rounds were numerically equal but different in order. Yet, the total
score of both teams were equal.

Question 4:

Fill in the blanks to make the following statements true:

(i) (− 5) + (− 8) = (− 8) + (…)

(ii) − 53 + … = − 53

(iii) 17 + … = 0

(iv) [13 + (− 12)] + (…) = 13 + [(− 12) + (− 7)]

(v) (− 4) + [15 + (− 3)] = [(− 4) + 15] +

Answer:

(i)

(ii)

(iii)

(iv)

(v)

Exercise 1.2
Question 1:
Find each of the following products:

(a) 3 × (− 1) (b) (− 1) × 225

(c) (− 21) × (− 30) (d) (− 316) × (− 1)

(e) (− 15) × 0 × (−18) (f) (− 12) × (− 11) × (10)

(g) 9 × (− 3) × (− 6) (h) (− 18) × (− 5) × (− 4)

(i) (− 1) × (−2) × (− 3) × 4

(j) (− 3) × (− 6) × (− 2) × (− 1)

Answer:

(a) 3 × (−1) = −3

(b) (−1) × 225 = −225

(c) (−21) × (−30) = 630

(d) (−316) × (−1) = 316

(e) (−15) × 0 × (−18) = 0

(f) (−12) × (−11) × 10 = 1320

(g) 9 × (−3) × (−6) = 162

(h) (−18) × (−5) × (−4) = −360

(i) (−1) × (−2) × (−3) × 4 = −24

(j) (−3) × (−6) × (−2) × (−1) = 36

Question 2:

Verify the following:

(a)

(b)

Answer:

(a) L.H.S. = 18 × [7 + (− 3)] = 18 × [7 − 3] = 18 × 4 = 72


R.H.S. = [18 × 7] + [18 × (− 3)] = 126 + (− 54) = 72

Hence,

(b) L.H.S. = (−21) × [(−4) + (−6)] = (−21) × [− 4 − 6] = (−21) × [−10] = 210

R.H.S. = [(−21) × (−4)] + [(−21) × (−6)] = 84 + 126 = 210

Hence,

Question 3:

(i) For any integer a, what is (− 1) × a equal to?

(ii) Determine the integer whose product with (− 1) is

(a) − 22 (b) 37 (c) 0

Answer:

(i) As per the Question, there will be three cases possible because we can divide number
line among negative integers, 0 and positive integers.

So, case 1: When a is any negative ineteger, that is, –a, then (−1) × (-a) = a

So, case 2: When a is 0, then (−1) × 0 = 0

So, case 3: When a is any positive ineteger, that is, a, then (−1) × a = -a

Thus, the possible Answers are a, 0 and -a.

(ii) (a)

(b)

-37×-1=37(c)

Question 4:

Starting from (− 1) × 5, write various products showing some pattern to show (− 1) × (−


1) =1.

Answer:

−1 × 5 = −5

−1 × 4 = −4 = − 5 + 1
−1 × 3 = −3 = − 4 + 1

−1 × 2 = −2 = − 3 + 1

−1 × 1 = −1 = − 2 + 1

−1 × 0 = 0 = − 1 + 1

Therefore, −1 × (−1) = 0 + 1 = 1

Exercise 1.3
Question 1:

Evaluate each of the following:

(a) (b)

(c) (d)

(e) (f)

(g)

(h) (i)

Answer:

(a) (−30) ÷ 10 = −3

(b) 50 ÷ (−5) = −10

(c) (−36) ÷ (−9) = 4

(d) (−49) ÷ 49 = −1

(e) 13 ÷ [−2 + 1] = 13 ÷ [−1] = −13

(f) 0 ÷ (−12) = 0

(g) (−31) ÷ [(−30) + (−1)] = (−31) ÷ (−31) = 1

(h) [(−36) ÷ 12] ÷ 3 = [−3] ÷ 3 = −1


(i) [− 6 + 5] ÷ [− 2 + 1] = (−1) ÷ (−1) = 1

Question 2:

Verify that a ÷ (b + c) ≠ (a ÷ b) + (a ÷ c) for each of the following values of a, b and c.

(a) a = 12, b = −4, c = 2

(b) a = (− 10), b = 1, c = 1

Answer:

(a) a = 12, b = −4, c = 2

a ÷ (b + c) = 12 ÷ (− 4 + 2) = 12 ÷ (−2) = −6

(a ÷ b) + (a ÷ c) = [12 ÷ (−4)] + [12 ÷ 2] = −3 + 6 = 3

Hence, a ÷ (b + c) ≠ (a ÷ b) + (a ÷ c)

(b) a = −10, b = 1, c = 1

a ÷ (b + c) = (−10) ÷ (1 + 1) = (−10) ÷ 2 = −5

(a ÷ b) + (a ÷ c) = [(−10) ÷ 1] + [(−10) ÷ 1] = − 10 − 10 = −20

Hence, a ÷ (b + c) ≠ (a ÷ b) + (a ÷ c)

Question 3:

Fill in the blanks:

(a) (b)

(c) (d)

(e) (f)

(g) (h)

Answer:

(a)

(b)
(c)

(d)

(e)

(f)

(g)

(h)

Question 4:

Write five pairs of integers (a, b) such a ÷ b = − 3. One such pair is (6, − 2) because 6 ÷ (−
2) = (− 3).

Answer:

(i) (3, −1)

Because 3 ÷ (−1) = −3

(ii) (−3, 1)

Because (−3) ÷ 1 = −3

(iii) (9, −3)

Because 9 ÷ (−3) = −3

(iv) (−9, 3)

Because (−9) ÷ 3 = −3

(v) (12, −4)

Because 12 ÷ (−4) = −3

Question 5:

The temperature at 12 noon was 10°C above zero. If it decreases at the rate of 2°C per
hour until midnight, at what time would the temperature be 8°C below zero? What would
be the temperature at mid-night?
Answer:

Initial temperature i.e., at 12 noon = 10°C

Change in temperature per hour = −2°C

Temperature at 1:00 PM = 10ºC + (−2ºC) = 8ºC

Temperature at 2:00 PM = 8ºC + (−2ºC) = 6ºC

Temperature at 3:00 PM = 6ºC + (−2ºC) = 4ºC

Temperature at 4:00 PM = 4ºC + (−2ºC) = 2ºC

Temperature at 5:00 PM = 2ºC + (−2ºC) = 0ºC

Temperature at 6:00 PM = 0ºC + (−2ºC) = −2ºC

Temperature at 7:00 PM = −2ºC + (−2ºC) = −4ºC

Temperature at 8:00 PM = −4ºC + (−2ºC) = −6ºC

Temperature at 9:00 PM = −6ºC + (−2ºC) = −8ºC

Therefore, the temperature will be 8°C below zero at 9:00 PM.

It will take 12 hours to be midnight (i.e., 12:00 AM) after 12:00 noon.

Change in temperature in 12 hours = −2°C × 12 = −24ºC

At midnight, the temperature will be = 10 + (−24)

= −14°C

Therefore, the temperature at midnight will be 14ºC below 0.

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? (iii) Rakesh
scores 18 marks by attempting 16 Questions. How many Questions has he attempted
correctly and how many has he attempted incorrectly?

Answer:

Marks obtained for 1 right Answer = +3


Marks obtained for 1 wrong Answer = −2

(i) Marks scored by Radhika = 20

Marks obtained for 12 correct Answers = 12 × 3 = 36

Marks obtained for incorrect Answers = Total score − Marks obtained for 12
correct Answers

= 20 − 36 = −16

Marks obtained for 1 wrong Answer = −2

Thus, number of incorrect Answers = (−16) ÷(−2) = 8

Therefore, she attempted 8 Questions wrongly.

(ii) Marks scored by Mohini = −5

Marks obtained for 7 correct Answers = 7 × 3 = 21

Marks obtained for incorrect Answers = Total score − Marks obtained for 12
correct Answers

= − 5 − 21 = −26

Marks obtained for 1 wrong Answer = −2

Thus, number of incorrect Answers = (−26) ÷(−2) = 13

Therefore, she attempted 13 Questions wrongly.

(iii) Total marks scored by Rakesh = 18

Number of Questions attempted = 16

(Number of correct Answers)(3) + (Number of incorrect Answers)(−2) = 18

⇒(Number of correct Answers)(3) + (16 − Number of correct Answers)(−2) = 18

⇒(Number of correct Answers)(3) + −32 + 2(Number of correct Answers) = 18

⇒(Number of correct Answers)(5) + −32 = 18

⇒(Number of correct Answers)(5) = 18 + 32 = 50

⇒ Number of correct Answers = 10

∴Number of incorrect Answers = 16 − 10 = 6


∴Total number of correct and incorrect Answers scored by Rakesh is 10 and 6
respectively.

Question 7:

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

Answer:

Distance descended is denoted by a negative integer.

Initial height = +10 m

Final depth = −350 m

Total distance to be descended by the elevator = (−350) − (+10) = −360 m

Time taken by the elevator to descend −6 m = 1 min

Thus, time taken by the elevator to descend −360 m = (−360) ÷ (−6)

= 60 minutes = 1 hour
