Question 13 Marks
A man bought some pencils for Rs. 30 and some pens for Rs. 90. The next day, he again bought some pencils for Rs. 25. Then he sold all the pencils for Rs. 20 and the pens for Rs. 70. What was his net gain or loss?
Answer
Total cost price = Price of pencils + Price of pens
= 30 + 90 + 25
= Rs. 145
Total amount sold = Price of pen + Price of pencils
= 20 + 70
= Rs. 90
Selling price – Cost price = 90 – 145 = -55
The negative sign implies loss
Hence, his net loss was Rs. 55.

Question 33 Marks
Verify the following:
(-13) × [(-6) + (-19)] = (-13) × (-6) + (-13) × (-19)
Answer
L.H.S.
(-13) × [(-6) + (-19)]
= (-13) × [-6 - 19]
= (-13) × (-25)
= 325
R.H.S.
(-13) × (-6) + (-13) × (-19)
= 78 + 247
= 325
L.H.S. = R.H.S. (Proved)

Question 43 Marks
Verify the following:
18 × [9 + (-7)] = 18 × 9 + 18 × (-7)
Answer
L.H.S.
18 × [9 + (-7)]
= 18 × 2
= 36
R.H.S.
18 × 9 + 18 × (-7)
= 162 + (-126)
= 36
So, L.H.S. = R.H.S. (Proved)

Question 53 Marks
A car travelled 60km to the north of Patna and then 90km to the south from there. How far from Patna was the car finally?
Answer
Let the distance covered in the direction of north be positive and that in the direction of south be negative.
Distance travelled to the north of Patna = 60km
Distance travelled to the south of Patna = -90km
Total distance travelled by the car = 60 + (-90)
= -30km
The car was 30km south of Patna.

Question 63 Marks
Subtract the sum of -250 and 138 from the sum of 136 and -272.
Answer
Sum of 138 and -250:138 + (-250)
= 138 - 250
= -112
Sum of 136 and -272:
= 136 + (-272)
= 136 - 272
= -136
Subtracting the sum of -250 and 138 from the sum of 136 and -272:
-136 - (-112​)
= -136 + 112​
= -24
