(b) Point G is a negative integer.
(c) Point B is 4 and point E is – 10.
(d) The least value on this number line is point E as it represents – 10.
(e) The points in decreasing order of value are D, C, B, A, O, H, G, F, E.

5. Following is the list of temperatures of five places in India on a particular day of the year.

(a) Write the temperatures of these places in the form of integers in the blank column.
(b) Following is the number line representing the temperature in degree Celsius.

Plot the name of the city against its temperature.
(c) Which is the coolest place?
(d) Write the names of the places where temperatures are above 10°C.

Solutions:

(a)

(b)

(c) Siachin is the coolest place with – 10⁰C temperature.

(d) Ahmedabad (30⁰C) and Delhi (20⁰C) are the places where the temperatures are above 10⁰C

6. In each of the following pairs, which number is to the right of the other on the number line?
(a) 2, 9
(b) – 3, – 8
(c) 0, – 1
(d) – 11, 10
(e) – 6, 6
(f) 1, – 100

Solutions:

(a) 9 lies to the right on the number line (9 > 2)
(b) – 3 lies to the right on the number line (- 3 > – 8)
(c) 0 lies to the right on the number line (0 > -1)
(d) 10 lies to the right on the number line (10 > -11)
(e) 6 lies to the right on the number line (6 > -6)
(f) 1 lies to the right on the number line (1 > -100)

7. Write all the integers between the given pairs (write them in the increasing order.)
(a) 0 and – 7
(b) – 4 and 4
(c) – 8 and – 15
(d) – 30 and – 23

Solutions:

(a) -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1 are the integers between 0 and -7.
(b) -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 are the integers between -4 and 4.
(c) -14, -13, -12, -11, -10, -9 are the integers between -8 and -15.
(d) -29, -28, -27, -26, -25, -24 are the integers between -30 and -23.

8.
(a) Write four negative integers greater than – 20.
(b) Write four integers less than – 10.

Solutions:

(a) Four negative integers greater than -20 are -20 +1, -20 + 2, -20 + 3 and -20 + 4.
i.e., -19, -18, -17, and -16
(b) Four negative integers less than-10 are -10 -1, -10 -2, -10 -3 and -10 -4
i. e., -11, -12, -13, -14.

9. For the following statements, write True (T) or False (F). If the statement is false, correct the statement.
(a) – 8 is to the right of – 10 on a number line.
(b) – 100 is to the right of – 50 on a number line.
(c) Smallest negative integer is – 1.
(d) – 26 is greater than – 25.

Solutions:

(a) True as (-8 > -10)
(b) False. (-50 is greater than -100). Hence, -100 lies to the left of -50 on the number line.
(c) False. -1 is the greater negative integer.
(d) False. -26 is smaller than -25.

10. Draw a number line and answer the following:
(a) Which number will we reach if we move 4 numbers to the right of – 2.
(b) Which number will we reach if we move 5 numbers to the left of 1.
(c) If we are at – 8 on the number line, in which direction should we move to reach – 13?
(d) If we are at – 6 on the number line, in which direction should we move to reach – 1?

Solutions:

(a)
If we move 4 numbers to the right of -2, we will reach at 2.

(b)
If we move 5 numbers to the left of 1, we will reach at -4.

(c)
-13 lies to the left of -8 on the number line. Hence, we should move towards left direction.

(d) 
-1 lies to the right of -6 on the number line. So, we should move towards right direction.
