Question 4.
In a quiz, team A scored -30,20 ,0 and team B scored 20 , 0 , and 30
three successive rounds. Which team scored more? Can we say that
we can add integers in any order?
Solution:
D

In a quiz,
Team A scored -30, 20,0 and
Team B scores 20 ,0,-30 in three rounds
Sum of scores of A team = -30 + 20 +0 = -10
Sum of scores of B team = 20 +0 -30 = -10
The scores of both the team are equal i.e. -10
Yes, by adding the scores in any order, the result will be the same.

Solution:

By selling a pen, gain is 2

And an eraser, he loses 15 praise
On one day, he gains = 10
D

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 pencils and erasers = 20 -10 = 10 = 1000 praise
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
