Answers
(1) 331

Step 1
According to the question, an integer is divided by 4 and gives a remainder of 3. Let us assume
that the number or the dividend is x.
Here, divisor = 4
Remainder = 3
We know that dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder
Or,
Dividend - Remainder
Quotient =
Divisor
x-3
=
4

Step 2
Since, the resulting quotient is divided by 5 and gives the remainder of 2, hence the resulting
quotient works as the dividend.
Dividend - Remainder
New quotient =
Divisor

x-3
( )-2
New quotient = 4

5
x-3-8 1
= ×
4 5
x - 11
=
20

Step 3
Since, the resulting quotient is divided by 9 giving the quotient of 1 and the remainder of 7, hence
the resulting quotient works as the dividend.
Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder
x - 11
⇒ =9×1+7
20
x - 11
⇒ =9+7
20
x - 11
⇒ = 16
20
⇒ x - 11 = 16 × 20
⇒ x = 320 + 11
⇒ x = 331

Step 4
Therefore, the number is 331.

(2) A) -101415

Subtracting 25430 from -75985 = -75985 - 25430 = -101415

B) -85101

Subtracting -7554 from -92655 = -92655 - (-7554) = -92655 + 7554 = -85101

C) 161603

Subtracting -71881 from 89722 = 89722 - (-71881) = 89722 + 71881 = 161603

D) -144070

Subtracting 86674 from -57396 = -57396 - 86674 = -144070

E) 17281

Subtracting 58964 from 76245 = 76245 - 58964 = 17281

F) 8116

Subtracting 36521 from 44637 = 44637 - 36521 = 8116

(3) a-5

Step 1
It is given that the value of a is greater than 5.
So, the value of a - 5 will be positive.

Step 2
Hence, the absolute value of | a - 5 | is a - 5.

(4) A) -25774

Step 1
The sum of (9357) and (7355) :
= (9357) + 7355
= 16712

Step 2
Now, subtract 16712 from (-9062).
= (-9062) - 16712
= -25774

Step 3
Therefore, the answer is -25774.

B) 7554

Step 1
The sum of (7501) and (-5929) :
= (7501) + (-5929) = 7501 -5929
= 1572

Step 2
Now, subtract 1572 from (9126).
= (9126) - 1572
= 7554

Step 3
Therefore, the answer is 7554.

(5) 3

Step 1
We know,
Dividend = Quotient × Divisor + Remainder

Step 2
Therefore, the dividend of third division:
Dividend3 = Quotient3 × Divisor3 + Remainder3
Dividend3 = 1 × 6 + 3
Dividend3 = 9

Step 3
The dividend of the third division is actually the quotient of the second division. Therefore,
Quotient2 = Dividend3 = 9

Step 4
Dividend of the second division,
Dividend2 = Quotient2 × Divisor2 + Remainder2
Dividend2 = 9 × 7 + 6
Dividend2 = 69

Step 5
Similarly, the dividend of the second division is actually the quotient of the first division. Therefore,
Quotient1 = Dividend2 = 69

Step 6
Dividend of the first division:
Dividend1 = Quotient1 × Divisor1 + Remainder1
Dividend1 = 69 × 6 + 4
Dividend1 = 418

Step 7
Now, let us divide the number 418 in reverse order,
418 ÷ 6 = 69, Remainder = 4
69 ÷ 7 = 9, Remainder = 6
9 ÷ 6 = 1, Remainder = 3

Step 8
Therefore, the final remainder is 3.

(6) A) -25

Step 1
In case of the negative numbers, the value of the greater negative number is smaller
as compared to the less negative number or a positive number.
Therefore, -25 < -23.

Step 2
Hence, we can say that the smaller number in the pair -23, -25 is -25.

B) 12

Step 1
If we look at the pair 28, 12, we will notice that 12 < 28.

Step 2
Therefore, we can say that the smaller number in the pair 28, 12 is 12.

C) 12

Step 1
If we look at the pair 12, 15, we will notice that 12 < 15.

Step 2
Therefore, we can say that the smaller number in the pair 12, 15 is 12.

D) -20

Step 1
We know that a negative number is always smaller than a positive number.
Therefore -20 < 11.

Step 2
Hence, we can say that the smaller number in the pair -20, 11 is -20.

(7) A) 13

Step 1
We know that the value of a more negative number is smaller as compared to a less
negative number or any positive number.

Step 2
Hence, we can say that the larger number in the pair 13, -23 is 13.

B) 5

Step 1
We know that the value of a more negative number is smaller as compared to a less
negative number or any positive number.

Step 2
Hence, we can say that the larger number in the pair 5, -6 is 5.

C) 22

Step 1
Both the numbers, 22 and 18, are positive.
On comparing the two numbers, we find that 22 > 18.

Step 2
Hence,the positive number 22 is larger than the positive number 18.

D) 20

Step 1
We know that the value of a more negative number is smaller as compared to a less
negative number or any positive number.

Step 2
Hence, we can say that the larger number in the pair -12, 20 is 20.

(8) -72 °C

Step 1
We know that when anything is heated, its temperature increases and if anything is cooled, then
its the temperature decreases. If we look at the question carefully, we notice that the temperature
of the ingredient is 60 °C.

Step 2
Since, the cooling rate is 12 °C per hour, therefore the temperature in freezer in 11 hours = (-12) ×
11
= -132 °C

Step 3
Thus, the temperature in the freezer after 11 hours = Temperature of the ingredient + Temperature
in the freezer in 11 hours
= 60 - 132
= -72 °C

(9) b. Negative integer

Step 1
We know that negative numbers are less than '0' in magnitude and lie on its left hand side on the
number line.

The number line above shows two negative numbers a = -3 and b = -1.

Step 2
We must remember that when we add a positive number to a negative number, it shifts to the right
side on the number line.
Similarly, if we add a negative number, it shifts to the left side on the number line.

Step 3
For example, if we add b(-1) to a(-3), 'a' shifts further on the left side on the number line.

Step 4
Since, the sum of any two negative numbers will always lie on the left side of '0' on the number
line.
Hence, the sum will always be negative.

(10) A) positive

Step 1
a) We know that the multiplication of two positive integers results in a positive integer.
For example : 4 × 5 = 20
b) Multiplication of two negative integers results in a positive integer.
For example : (−4) × (−5) = 20
c) Multiplication of two integers, one negative and other positive, results in a negative
integer.
For example : (−4) × 5 = (−20)

Step 2
We must remember that if the number of negative integers are even, then the product
of the integers will be positive. Otherwise, the product of the negative integers remains
negative.

Step 3
So, the multiplication of 14 negative integers and 5 positive integers
= (Multiplication of 14 negative integers) × (Multiplication of 5 positive numbers)
= (Positive integer) × (Positive integer)
= Positive integer

B) positive

Step 1
a) We know that the multiplication of two positive integers results in a positive integer.
For example : 4 × 5 = 20
b) Multiplication of two negative integers results in a positive integer.
For example : (−4) × (−5) = 20
c) Multiplication of two integers, one negative and other positive, results in a negative
integer.
For example : (−4) × 5 = (−20)

Step 2
We must remember that if the number of negative integers are even, then the product
of the integers will be positive. Otherwise, the product of the negative integers remains
negative.

Step 3
So, the multiplication of 28 negative integers and 7 positive integers
= (Multiplication of 28 negative integers) × (Multiplication of 7 positive numbers)
= (Positive integer) × (Positive integer)
= Positive integer

(12) A) -105

Step 1
We can multiply the two numbers by using the following steps:
1. Firstly, we will multiply the mathematical signs of the numbers. We place a negative
sign before the negative numbers and leave the positive numbers without any sign.
We can multiply the signs as shown below :
+×+=+
+×−=−
−×−=+
2. Now, we have to multiply the numbers.
For example :
3 × 2 = 6,
3 × (-2) = (-6),
(-3) × 2 = (-6),
(-3) × (-2) = 6

Step 2
Therefore, ( -11 ) × 8 + ( -1 ) × 17 can be expressed as:
( -11 ) × 8 + ( -1 ) × 17
= (-88) + (-17)
= -88 -17
= -105

Step 3
Hence, the value of ( -11 ) × 8 + ( -1 ) × 17 is -105.

( -14 ) × ( -9 ) × 4 - ( -1 ) × ( -3 ) × 11
= (504) - (33)
= 471

Step 3
Hence, the value of ( -14 ) × ( -9 ) × 4 - ( -1 ) × ( -3 ) × 11 is 471.

(14) False

Step 1
We know that the additive inverse of a number a is the number which, when added to a, yields
zero.

Step 2
In other words, the additive inverse is the opposite of a number.
Therefore, the additive inverse of a positive number is negative and that of a negative number is
positive.
For example, the additive inverse of 14 is −14.
The additive inverse of −5 is 5.

Step 3
Therefore, the given statement is false.
