= 7 – 15 = -8
So, 8 ≠ (-8)
(xv) Closure property holds for division of integers. (False)
Correct:
As $$\frac { 15 }{ 5 }$$ = 3 but $$\frac { 5 }{ 15 }$$ = $$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$

(xix) [(-32 ÷ 8] ÷ 2 = (-32) ÷ (8 ÷ 2) (False)
Correct:
[(-32) ÷ 8} ÷ 2 = -4 ÷ 2 = -2
and (-32) ÷ (8 ÷ 2) = -32 ÷ 4 = -8
So, it is false.
(xx) For every integer a, a ÷ a = 1. (False)
Correct:
As 0 ÷ 0 ≠ 1
(xxi) The successor of 0 × (-10) is 1 × (-10). (False)

(iv) The product of two integers is always greater than the sum of the integers.
Solution:
(i) The sum of a positive integer and a negative integer is always a positive integer. (False)
Correct:
As 3 + (-8) = 3 – 8 = -5 which is negative.
(ii) The sum of two integers is always greater than their difference. (False)
Correct:
As 3 + (-4) = -1 but 3 – (-4) = 3 + 4 = 7 and -1 < 7
(iii) For any two integers a and b, the inequality -a < b is always true. (False) Correct: Let a = -5 and b = 2, then -a = -(-5) = 5 and -a> b
(iv) The product of two integers is always greater than the sum of the integers. (False)
Correct:
Let two integers be -2 and 3
Then product = -2 × 3 = -6
and sum = -2 + 3 = 1
But -6 < 1
Their product < Their sum.

Value Based Questions

Question 1.
In a competitive exam, 3 marks are given for every correct answer and 1 mark is deducted for every incorrect answer. Raju copied some answers from Reema and answered all the questions, he scored 20 marks though he got 10 correct answers. How many incorrect answers had he attempted? What values are promoted in the question?
Solution:
In competitive exam
3 marks awarded for every correct answer.
1 mark is deducted for an incorrect answer.
Raju copied some answers from Reema.
He scored 20 marks but he got 10 correct answers.
For correct answer, his scores = 10 × 3 = 30
But he scored 20 marks
30 – 20 = 10 marks were deducted
He attempted 10 ÷ 1 = 10 incorrect answers.
A student should not use unfair mean in the exam. It is a bad habit. He should work hard.

Question 2.
In a quiz, ₹ 300 are awarded for every correct answer and a penalty of ₹ 75 is put for every incorrect answer. Madhuri answered 15 questions out of which only 6 answers were correct. How much money is earned by Madhuri in the quiz?
If she distributes the money earned by her to poor children in the neighborhood, what values are being promoted?
Solution:
In a quiz,
₹ 300 are awarded for every correct answer.
₹ 75 is put as the penalty for every incorrect answer.
Money earned for correct answer = 6 × 300 = ₹ 1800
She scored incorrect = 15 – 6 = 9
Penalty = ₹ 75 × 9 = ₹ 675
Correct amount she got = ₹ 1800 – ₹ 675 = ₹ 1125
So, she got ₹ 1125

Question 1.
Write a pair of integers whose product is -12 and there lies seven integers between them.
Solution:
Product of two integers = -12
The pairs can be possible
1 × 12, 2 × 6, 3 × 4
But has 7 integers between them
The pair can be -2 × 6 or -6 × 2
and seven integers between them will be
-1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1

Question 2.
A water tank has steps inside it. A monkey is sitting on the first step. The water level is at the ninth step.
(i) He jumps 3 steps down and then jumps back 2 steps up. In how many jumps will he reach the water level?
(ii) After drinking water, he wants to go back. For this, he jumps 5 steps up and then jumps back 3 steps down in every move. In how many jumps will he reach back the top of the tank?
Solution:
In a tank,
Monkey is at first step and water level is at 9th step.
(i) Monkey jumps 3 steps down jumps back 2 steps
So, he jumps 3 – 2 = 1 step in one attempt.
(ii) After drinking water, he jumps up 5 steps and then back 3 steps. So, he covers 2 steps in one jump.
So, 9 – 5 = 4 + 1 = 5 jumps, he will come back at the first step of the tank.

Question 3.
A shopkeeper earns a profit of ₹ 2 by selling a pen and incurs a loss of 50 paise per pencil and loss of 15 paise per eraser while selling pencils and erasers of old stock. On a particular day, he earns a profit of ₹ 10. If he sold 10 pens and the number of pencils and erasers he sold are in the ratio 7 : 10, then find the number of pencils and eraser she sold on that day.
Solution:
By selling a pen, gain is ₹ 2
and by selling a pencils, he loses 50 paise
and an eraser, he loses 15 paise
On one day, he gains = ₹ 10
On that day he sold 10 pens and pencils and erasers in the ratio of 7 : 10
On ten pens, his gain =10 × 2 = ₹ 20
loss on penicls and erasers = ₹ 20 – ₹ 10 = ₹ 10 = 1000 paise
Ratio in pencil and erasers = 7 : 10
Let number of pencils = 7x, then eraser = 10x
7x × 50 + 10x × 15 = 1000
⇒ 350x + 150x = 1000
⇒ 500x = 1000
⇒ x = 2
Number of pencils = 7 × 2 = 14
and number of erasers = 10 × 2 = 20
