Question 1.
One night in Kashmir, the temperature is -5°C. Next day the temperature is 9°C. What is the increase in temperature?
Solution:
Temperature in the first day = -5°C
Temperature in the next day = 9°C
∴ Increase in temperature = 9°C – (-5°C)
= 9°C + (+5°C) = 14°C

Question 2.
An atom can contain protons which have a positive charge (+) and electrons which have a negative charge (-). When an electron and a proton pair up, they become neutral (0) and cancel the charge at. Now determine the net charge:
(i) 5 electrons and 3 protons → -5 + 3 = -2 that is 2 electrons \(\ominus\ominus\)
(ii) 6 protons and 6 electrons →
(iii) 9 protons and 12 electrons →
(iv) 4 protons and 8 electrons →
(v) 7 protons and 6 electrons →
Solution:
(ii) 6 protons and 6 electrons → (+6) + (-6) = 0
(iii) 9 protons and 12 electrons → (+9) + (-12) = 9-12 = -3 ⇒ 3 electrons \(\ominus\ominus\ominus\)
(iv) 4 protons and 8 electrons → (+4) + (-8) = +4 – 8 = -4 ⇒ 4 electrons \(\ominus\ominus \ominus\ominus\)
(v) 7 protons and 6 electrons → (+7) + (-6) = +1 = 1 proton \(\oplus\)

Question 3.
Scientists use the Kelvin scale (K) as an alternative temperature scale to degrees Celsius (°C) by the relation T°C = (T + 273)K. Convert the following to Kelvin:
(i) -275°C
(ii) 45°C
(iii) -400°C
(iv) -273°C
Solution:
(i) -275°C = (-275 + 273)K = -2K
(ii) 45°C = (45 + 273)K = 318 K
(iii) -400°C = (-400 + 273)K = -127 K
(iv) -273°C = (-273 + 273) K = 0K

Question 4.
Find the amount that is left in the student’s bank account, if he has made the following transaction in a month. His initial balance is ₹ 690.
(i) Deposit (+) of ₹ 485
(ii) Withdrawal (-) of ₹ 500
(iii) Withdrawal (-) of ₹ 350
(iv) Deposit (+) of ₹ 89
(v) If another ₹ 300 was withdrawn, what would the balance be?
Solution:
(i) Initial balance of student’s account = ₹ 690
Deposited amount = ₹ 485 (+)
∴ Amount left in the account = ₹ 690 + ₹ 485 = ₹ 1175

(ii) Balance in the account = ₹ 1175
Amount withdrawn = ₹ 500 (-)
Amount left = ₹ 1175 – ₹ 500 = ₹ 675

(iii) Balance in the account = ₹ 675
Amount withdrawn = ₹ 350 (-)
Amount left = ₹ 675 – ₹ 350 = ₹ 325

(iv) Balance in the account = ₹ 325
Amount deposited = ₹ 89(+)
Amount left = ₹ 325 + ₹ 89 = ₹ 414

(v) Balance in the account = ₹ 414
Amount withdrawn = ₹ 300 (-)
Amount left = ₹ 414 – ₹ 300 = ₹ 114

Question 5.
A poet Tamizh Nambi lost 35 pages of his ‘lyrics’ when his file had got wet in the rain. Use integers, to determine the following.
(i) If Tamil Nambi wrote 5 pages per day, how many day’s work did he lose?
(ii) If four pages contained 1800 characters, (letters) how many characters were lost?
(iii) If Tamil Nambi is paid ₹ 250 for each page produced, how much money did he lose?
(iv) If Kavimaan helps Tamizh Nambi and they are able to produce 7 pages per day, how many days will it take to recreate the work lost?
(v) Tamizh Nambi pays Kavimann ₹ 100 per page for his help. How much money does Kavimaan receive?
Solution:
Total pages lost – 35
One day work = 5 page 35
35 pages = \(\frac{35}{5}\) = 7 days work
∴ 7 day’s work he lost.

(ii) Number of characters in four pages = 1800
Number of characters in one page = \(\frac{1800}{4}\) = 450
∴ Number of characters in 35 pages = 450 × 35 = 15,750 characters

(iii) Payment for one page = ₹ 250
∴ Payment for 35 pages = ₹ 250 × ₹ 35 = ₹ 8,750

(iv) Number of pages recreated a day = 7
∴ To recreate 35 pages day’s needed = \(\frac{35}{7}\) = 5 days

(v) Payment of Kavimaan = ₹ 100 per page
∴ for 35 pages payment = ₹ 100 × 35 = ₹ 3,500

Question 6.
Add 2 to me. Then multiply by 5 and subtract 10 and divide new by 4 and I will give you 15! Who am I?
Solution:
According to the problem {[(I + 2) × 5] – 10} ÷ 4 = 15
{[(I + 2) × 5] – 10} = 15 × 4 = 60
I + 2 = \(\frac{70}{5}\) = 14
(I + 2) × 5 = 60 + 10 = 70
I = 14 – 2 ; I = 12

Question 7.
Kamatchi, a fruit vendor sells 30 apples and 50 pomegranates. If she makes a profit of ? 8 per apple and loss ? 5 per pomegranate. What will be her overall profit or loss?
Solution:
Number of apples Kamatchi sold = 30
Profit per apple = ₹ 8(+)
∴ Profit for 30 apples = 30 × 8 = ₹ 240
Number of pomegranates sold 50
Loss per pomegranate = ₹ 5(-)
Loss on selling 50 pomegranates = 50 × (-5) = ₹ -250
Overall loss = -250 + 240 = ₹ -10
i.e. loss ₹ 10.

Question 8.
During a drought, the water level in a dam fell 3 inches per week for 6 consecutive weeks. What was the change in the water level in the dam at the end of this period?
Solution:
Water level fall per week = -3 inches
∴ Water level decrease for 6 weeks = 6 ₹ (-3) = 18 inches
∴ decrease of 18 inches of water level.

Buddha was bom in -563
and died in -483
So he was alive in 500 BC (BCE)
Life time = -483 – (-563) = -483 + 563 = +80
Buddha’s life time = 80 years.
