it is not less than the temperature of Srinagar.
Question 5:
In a quiz, positive marks are given for correct answers and negative marks are given for incorrect answers. If Jack’s scores in five successive rounds were 25, –5, –10, 15 and 10, what was his total at the end?
Answer:
Total of Jack’s score
= 25 + (–5) + (–10) + 15 + 10
= 25 – 5 – 10 + 15 + 10
= 25 + 15 + 10 – 5 –10
= 50 – 15 = 35
Thus, Jacks's final score was 35.
Question 6:
At Srinagar temperature was –5C on Monday and then it dropped by 2C on Tuesday. What was the temperature of Srinagar on Tuesday? On Wednesday, it rose by 4C. What was the temperature on this day?
Answer:
Temperature on Monday = –5C
Since temperature dropped by 2C on Tuesday
Temperature on Tuesday = –5C – 2C = –7C.
Now temperature rose by 4C on Wednesday
Temperature on Wednesday = –7C + 4C = –3C.
Question 7:
A plane is flying at the height of 5000 m above the sea level. At a particular point, it is exactly above a submarine floating 1200 m below the sea level. What is the vertical distance between them?

Sum of 1st column = 1 + (–4) + (–6)
= 1 – 4 – 6 = 1 – 10 = –9
Sum of 2nd column = (–10) + (–3) + 4
= –10 – 3 + 4 = – 13 + 4 = –9
Sum of 3rd column = 0 + (–2) + (–7)
= 0 – 2 – 7 = –9
Sum of 1st diagonal = 1 + (–3) + (–7)
= 1 – 3 – 7
= 1 – 10 = –9
Sum of 2nd diagonal = 0 + (–3) + (–6)
= 0 – 3 – 6
= –9
Sum of each row, each column and each diagonal is –9.
(ii) square is a magic square.

Question 20:
A water tank has steps inside it. A monkey is sitting on the topmost (i.e., the first step). water level is at the ninth step.
He jumps 3 steps down and then jumps back 2 steps up. In how many jumps will he reach the water level?
Answer:
Let, number of steps moved down is represented by negative integers and number of steps moved
up is represented by positive integers Total number of steps to be moved up and down = 9
Number of steps moved down in one jump = 3
Number of steps moved up in one jump = 2
According to question,
Number of jumps in which, he will reach the water level
= –9 + (–3 + 2) = –10
Hence, in 11 jumps he will reach the water level.
Question 21:
A water tank has steps inside it. A monkey is sitting on the topmost (i.e., the first step). water level is at the ninth step.
After drinking water, he wants to go back. For this, he jumps 4 steps up and then jumps back 2 steps down in every move. In how many jumps will he reach back the top step?
Answer:
Let, number of steps moved down is represented by negative integers and number of steps moved
up is represented by positive integers Total number of steps to be moved up and down = 9
In one jump number of steps moved up = 4
In one jump number of steps moved down = –2
Distance covered in single jump = 4 – 2 = 2
Now, total number of steps for top step = 9
Hence, he will reach back the top step in 5 jumps.
Question 22:
A water tank has steps inside it. A monkey is sitting on the topmost (i.e., the first step). water level is at the ninth step.
If the number of steps moved down is represented by negative integers and the number of steps
moved up by positive integers, represent his moves in
(i) He jumps 3 steps down and then jumps back 2 steps up. In how many jumps will he reach
the water level?
(ii) He jumps 4 steps up and then jumps back 2 steps down in every move. In how many jumps
will he reach back the top step?
by completing the following;
(a) – 3 + 2 –........... = –8
(b) 4 – 2 + ........... = 8.
In (a) the sum (–8) represents going down by eight steps. So, what will the sum 8 in (b)
represent?
Answer:
Let, number of steps moved down is represented by negative integers and number of steps moved
up is represented by positive integers Total number of steps to be moved up and down = 9
(a) – 3 + 2 – 3 + 2 – 3 + 2 – 3 + 2 – 3 + 2 – 3 = –8
(b) 4 – 2 + 4 – 2 + 4 = 8
Sum 8 in (b) represents going up 8 steps.

The temperature at 12 noon was 10C above zero. If it decreases at the rate of 2C per hour until midnight, at what time would the temperature be 8C below zero? What would be the temperature at midnight?
Answer:
At 12 noon temperature = 0 + 10C = 10C
at 1 pm temperature would be = 0C – 2C = 8C
at 2 pm temperature would be = 8C – 2C = 6C
at 3 pm temperature would be = 6C – 2C = 4C
at 4 pm temperature would be = 4C – 2C = 2C
at 5 pm temperature would be = 2C – 2C = 0C
at 6 pm temperature would be = 0C – 2C = –2C
at 7 pm temperature would be = –2C – 2C = –4C
at 8 pm temperature would be = –4C – 2C= –6C
at 9 pm temperature would be = –6C – 2C = –8C
at 10 pm temperature would be = –8C – 2C = –10C
at 11 pm temperature would be = –10C – 2C = –12C
at 12 midnight temperature would be = –12C – 2C = –14C
So, at 9 pm temperature would be 8C below zero and temperature at midnight would be –14C below zero.
