Which of the following shows the maximum rise in temperature$?$
  • A
    $23^\circ$ to $32^\circ$
  • $-10^\circ $ to $+1^\circ $
  • C
    $-18^\circ $ to $-11^\circ $
  • D
    $-5^\circ $ to $+5^\circ $
Answer
Correct option: B.
$-10^\circ $ to $+1^\circ $
 
$a.\ 32^\circ -23^\circ = 9^\circ $
$b.\ 1^\circ -(-10^\circ ) = 1^\circ +10^\circ = 11^\circ $
$c.\ 11^\circ -(-18^\circ ) = 11^\circ + 18^\circ = 7^\circ $
$d.\ 5^\circ -(-5 ) = 5^\circ +5^\circ = 10^\circ $
Therefore, the maximum rise is shown by option bis $11$ degrees.

The largest number that divides $64$ and $72$ and leave the remainders $12$ and $7$ respectively, is:
  • A
    $17$
  • $13$
  • C
    $14$
  • D
    $18$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$13$

Subtract $12$ and $7$ from $64$ and $72$ respectively.
$64 - 12 = 52$
$72 - 7 = 65$
The required number is the $HCF$ of $52$ and $65.$
Now,
$52 = 4 \times 13$
$65 = 5 \times 13$
$\therefore HCF\ 52$ and $65 = 13$
Therefore, the largest number that divides $64$ and $72$ and leave the remainder $12$ and $7$ respectively, is $13.$
Hence, the correct option is $(b)$.

Answer
Correct option: D.
$+ 110$

Let the other integer be $xx.$ One of the integer is given that is $-48$Also, it is given that the sum of the two integers is $+62.$ Therefore, we have:
$x + (−48) = + 62$
$\Rightarrow x - 48 - 62$

Let the age of the sons be $x$ and $y.$
Given that Father $8217;s$ age is three times the age of his two children.
Therefore, the present age of the father is $3 (x + y)$
Now, it is also given, after $5$ years, his age will be twice the sum of the ages of his children.
Therefore, after $55$ years age of the father will be $3 (x + y) + 5$ and age of the children will be $x + 5$ and $y + 5.$
$3 (x + y) + 5 = 2(x + 5 + y + 5)$
$3x + 3y + 5 = 2x + 10 + 2y + 10$
$3x + 3y + 5 = 2x + 2y + 20$
$3x - 2x + 3y - 2y = 20–5$
$x + y = 15$
Now the age of father was $3(x + y) + 3 (15) = 45 ($Putting the value of $x + y)$
Thus the age of the father is $45$

$-1$

Write given integers in addition expression and we get:
$(+5) + (-6)$
Subtract smaller integer $5$ from bigger integer $6$ as follows: $6 − 5 = 1$
Since, the bigger integer $-6$ is a negative integer, so the result should also be negative that is $-1$
Hence, $+ 5 - 6 = -1$

MCQ 491 Mark
The statement "When an integer is added to itself, the sum is greater than the integer" is:
  • A
    Always true.
  • B
    Never true.
  • True only when the integer is positive.
  • D
    True for non-negative integers.
Answer
Correct option: C.
True only when the integer is positive.

Suppose we take two integers one positive $(+1)$ and other negative $-1.$
On adding $1$ to itself, we get $1 + 1 = 2.$
Here, the sum is greater than the integer $(+1).$
Again, adding $-1$ to itself, we get $-1 + (-1) = -1 -1 = -2$
Here, the sum is less than the integer $-1.$
Hence, the given statement is true only when the integer is positive.

Mark the correct aftemative of the following:
The predecessor of $-99$ is:
  • A
    $-98$
  • $-100$
  • C
    $98$
  • D
    $100$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$-100$

If a is an integer, then its predecessor is a$ - 1.$
So Predecessor of $-99 =-99 - 1$
$= -(99 + 1)$
$= -100$
Hence, the correct option is $(b).$
