• Representation of integers on the number line and their addition
and subtraction.
• Properties of integers:
– Integers are closed under addition, subtraction and multiplication.
– Addition and multiplication are commutative for integers, i.e.,

a + b = b + a and a × b = b × a for any two integers a and b.
– Addition and multiplication are associative for integers,

i.e., (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) and
(a × b) × c = a × (b × c) for any three integers a, b and c.
– Zero (0) is an additive identity for integers, i.e., a + 0 = 0 + a = a
for any integer a.
– 1 is multiplicative identity for integers, i.e., a × 1 = 1 × a = a for
any integer a.
– Integers show distributive property of multiplication over
addition, i.e., a× (b + c) = a × b + a × c for any three integers a,
b and c.
• Product of a positive integer and a negative integer is a negative
integer, i.e, a × (–b) = – ab, where a and b are positive integers.
• Product of two negative integers is a positive integer, i.e.,

(–a) × (–b) = ab, where a and b are positive integers.
• Product of even number of negative integers is positive, where as

the product of odd number of negative integers is negative, i.e.,

• When a positive integer is divided by a negative integer or vice-versa

and the quotient obtained is an integer then it is a negative integer,
i.e.,
a a
a ÷ (–b) = (–a) ÷ b = – , where a and b are positive integers and –
b b
is an integer
• When a negative integer is divided by another negative integer to

a
give an integer then it gives a positive integer, i.e., (–a) ÷ (–b) = ,
a b
where a and b are positive integers and is also an integer.
b
• For any integer a, a ÷ 1 = a and a ÷ 0 is not defined.

All the pairs i.e. (–2, 24); (– 4, 12); (– 6, 8) give same answer
on multiplication, whereas –3 × 10 = –30, gives a different
answer. So, odd one is (b).
Example 9: Find the odd one out of the four options given below:
(a) (–3, – 6) (b) (+1, –10) (c) (–2, –7) (d) (–4, –9)
Solution: Here –3 + (–6) = – 9,
+1 + (–10) = –9 and
– 2 + (–7) = –9
All the above pairs i.e. (– 3, – 6); (+1, –10); (–2, –7) give
same answer on adding, whereas – 4 + (– 9) = –13, gives
a different answer. So, odd one out is (d).
Example 10: Match the integer in Column I to an integer in
Column II so that the sum is between –11 and – 4
Column I Column II
(a) – 6 (i) –11
(b) +1 (ii) – 5
(c) +7 (iii) +1
(d) – 2 (iv) –13
Solution: (a) ↔ (iii)

because –6 + (+1) = –5, which lies between –11 and –4.
(b) ↔ (i)
because +1 + (–11) = –10 which lies between –11 and –4.
(c) ↔ (iv)
because +7 + (–13) = –6 which lies between –11 and –4
(d) ↔ (ii)
because –2 + (–5) = –7 which lies between –11 and –4.
Example 11: If a is an integer other than 1 and –1, match the following:
Column I Column II
(a) a ÷ (–1) (i) a
(b) 1 ÷ (a) (ii) 1
(c) (–a) ÷ (–a) (iii) Not an integer
(d) a ÷ (+1) (iv) –a
Solution: (a) ↔ (iv) (b) ↔ (iii) (c) ↔ (ii) (d) ↔ (i)

Solution: Since sum of two integers is zero, one integer is the

additive inverse of other integer, like – 3, 3; – 4, 4 etc.
But the difference has to be 10. So, the integers are
5 and – 5 as 5–(–5) is 10.

To subtract an integer, 3 – 7 = 3 + (–7) a – b = a + (–b)
add its inverse 5 – (–8) = 5 + 8 a – (– b) = a + b
Example 13: Write two integers which are smaller than –3, but their
difference is greater than –3.
Solution: – 5 and – 4 are smaller than – 3 but their difference is
(–4) – (–5) = 1 which is greater than – 3.
or
– 6 and –10 are smaller than – 3 but their difference is
(–6) – (–10) = 4 which is greater than – 3.
Example 14: Write a pair of integers whose product is – 15 and whose
difference is 8.
Solution: There are few pairs of integers whose product is – 15.
e.g. – 1 × 15
–3× 5
3 × (– 5)
15 × (– 1)
but difference of –3 and 5 or –5 and 3 is 8. So the required
pair of integers is – 3, 5 and – 5, 3.
Example 15: If ∆ is an operation such that for integers a and b we
have a ∆ b = a × a + b × b – a × b, then find (–3) ∆ 2.
Solution : –3 ∆ 2 = (–3) × (–3) + 2 × 2 – (–3) × 2
= 9 + 4 – ( – 6) = 13 + 6 = 19.
Example 16: In an objective type test containing 25 questions. A
student is to be awarded +5 marks for every correct
answer, –5 for every incorrect answer and zero for not
writing any answer. Mention the ways of scoring 110
marks by a student.
Solution: Marks scored = +110
 
15-04-2018

So, minimum correct responses = 110 ÷ (+5) = 22

Case 1
Correct responses = 22
Marks for 1 correct response = + 5
Marks for 22 correct respones = +110 (22 × 5)
Marks scored = +110
Marks obtained for incorrect answer = 0
So, no incorrect response
And, therefore, 3 were unattempted
Case 2
Marks from 23 correct responses = + 115 (23 × 5)
Marks scored = + 110
Marks obtained for incorrect answers = 110 – (+115)
= –5
Marks for 1 incorrect answer = –5
Number of incorrect responses = (–5) ÷ (–5)
=1
So, 23 correct, 1 incorrect and 1 unattempted.
Case 3
Marks from 24 correct responses = + 120 (24 × 5)
Marks scored = + 110
Marks obtained for incorrect answers = +110 – (+120)
= –10
Number of incorrect responses = (–10) ÷ (–5)
=2
Thus the number of questions = 24 + 2 = 26. Whereas,
total number of questions is 25. So, this case is not
possible.
So, the possible ways are:
• 22 correct, 0 incorrect, 3 unattempted
• 23 correct, 1 incorrect, 1unattempted.

Example 17
A boy standing on the third stair on a staircase goes
up by five more stairs. Which stair is he standing at
now? At which step will he be after he comes down
by 2 stairs?
Solution: Understand and Explore the Problem
• What do you know?

The current position of the boy.
• What are we trying to find?
The new position of the boy after he takes five more stairs
in the same direction.
Plan a Strategy
• Going up one stairs is equal to + 1 and coming down by one

stairs is equal to – 1. Ground level is taken as 0.
Solve
• He is currently at the third stair i.e. at (+3).

• He goes up 5 stairs in the same direction.
• Since 3 + 5 = 8. Therefore, he is at 8th stair on the staircase.
Now, the boy comes down by 2 stairs. Since he comes down in
opposite direction i.e. downwards by 2 stairs (i.e. –2), so
8 + (–2) = 8 – 2 = 6. He is at 6th step now.
Revise
Since the boy moves 5 stairs up and then 2 stairs down,

therefore, as a result he moves (5 –2) stairs i.e. 3 stairs up. As
he was on stair 3 and since he goes up by 3 stairs (i.e. +3), so,
he is at (3 + 3) the i.e 6th step now.

FRACTIONS AND DECIMALS
(A) Main Concepts and Results
• A fraction is either a proper fraction or an improper fraction.

• A proper fraction is a number representing a part of a whole. This
whole may be a single object or a group of objects. An improper
fraction is a number in which numerator is greater than denominator.
• A mixed fraction is a combination of a natural number and a proper
fraction.
• Two fractions are multiplied by multiplying their numerators and
denominators separately and writing the product as
product of numerators 2 3 2×3 6
. For example, 5 × 4 = 5 × 4 = 20 .
product of denominators
1 1
• A fraction acts as an operator ‘of ’. For example, of 3 is × 3 = 1.
3 3
• The product of two proper fractions is less than each of the fractions,
1 1 1 1 1 1
For example, × = and is less than both and .
2 3 6 6 2 3
• The product of a proper and an improper fraction is less than the
improper fraction and greater than the proper fraction. For example,
1 3 3 3 3 1
× = and is less than but greater than .
2 2 4 4 2 2
• The product of two improper fractions is greater than the two fractions.
3 7 21 21 3 7
For example, × = and is greater than both and .
2 4 8 8 2 4
15-04-2018
UNIT 2
• The reciprocal of a non-zero fraction is obtained by interchanging

3 2
its numerator and denominator. For example, reciprocal of is .
2 3
• While dividing a whole number by a fraction, we multiply the whole
1 2
number with the reciprocal of that fraction. For example, 3 ÷ =3× .
2 1
• While dividing a fraction by a natural number, we multiply the fraction
1 1 1
by the reciprocal of the natural number. For example, ÷2= × .
4 4 2
• While dividing one fraction by another fraction, we multiply the first
1 1 1 3
fraction by the reciprocal of the other. For example, ÷ = × .
2 3 2 1
• While multiplying two decimal numbers, first multiply them as whole
numbers. Count the number of digits to the right of the decimal
point in both the decimal numbers. Add the number of digits
counted. Put the decimal point in the product by counting the
number of digits equal to sum obtained from its rightmost place. For
example, 1.2 × 1.24 = 1.488.
• To multiply a decimal number by 10, 100 or 1000, we move the
decimal point in the number to the right by as many places as many
zeros (0) are the right of one. For example, 1.33 × 10 = 13.3.
• To divide a decimal number by a natural number, we first take the
decimal number as natural number and divide by the given natural
number. Then place the decimal point in the quotient as in the decimal
1.2
number. For example, = 0.3
4
• To divide a decimal number by 10, 100 or 1000, shift the decimal
point in the decimal number to the left by as many places as there
1.34
are zeros over 1, to get the quotient. For example, = 0.0134
100
• While dividing one decimal number by another, first shift the decimal
points to the right by equal number of places in both, to convert the
divisor to a natural number and then divide. For example
1.44 14.4
= = 1.2.

• The information collected in the form of numbers is called Data.

• Data is organised and represented graphically so that it becomes
easy to understand and interpret.
• The difference between the highest and lowest observations in a
given data is called its Range.
• The average or Arithmetic Mean or mean of a given data is
defined as :
Sum of all observations

Mean =
Number of observations
• Mode is the observation that occurs most frequently in the data.
• If each of the values in a data are occurring one time (or equal number
of times), then all are mode. Sometimes, we also say that this data
has no mode since none of them is occurring frequently.
• When the given data is arranged in ascending (or descending) order,
then the middle most observation is the median of the data.
• Mean, median and mode are the representative values of a group of
observations. They are also called the measures of central tendency
of the data.
• The representation of the data in the form of rectangles (bars) of
uniform width is called a Bar Graph.
• A double bar graph can be used to compare informations related to
two data.

Application 2: The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a statistical measurement

which compares an individual’s weight and height. It is
a very useful tool to estimate a healthy body weight based
on how tall an individual is. Indeed, it is the most widely
used tool to identify the weight problem. BMI is very
easy to measure and evaluate. With the help of BMI, one
can come to know whether one is underweight, normal
weight, over weight or in the category of obesity. Its value
is measured in kg/m2.
BMI of any individual is calculated with the help of the
following formula :
 Body Weight 
Body Mass Index (BMI) =  
 Height × Height 
Here the weight of the individual is measured in
kilograms and the height of that individual is taken in
metres.
The categories in BMI are given in the following table :
Category BMI
Under weight <18.5

Normal weight 18.5 – 24.9
Over weight 25.0 – 29.9
Obesity Class I 30.0 – 34.9
Obesity Class II 35.0 – 39.9
Obesity Class III ≥ 40
After having a glance at the table given above, one can

• The word variable means something that can vary i.e., change and
constant means that does not vary. The value of a variable is not
fixed. Variables are denoted usually by letters of the English alphabets
such as x, y, z, l, m, n, p, a etc.
• The expressions are formed by performing operations like addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division on the variables and
constants.
• An equation is a condition on a variable (or variables) such that two
expressions in the variable (variables) have equal value.
• The value of the variable for which the equation is satisfied is called
the solution or root of the equation.
• An equation remains the same if the LHS and the RHS are
interchanged.
• In case of balanced equation if we (i) add the same number to both
the sides, or (ii) subtract the same number from both the sides, or
(iii) multiply both sides by the same non-zero number or (iv) divide
both sides by the same non-zero number, the balance remains
undisturbed.
• Transposing means moving from one side to the other. When a term
is transposed from one side of the equation to the other side, its sign
gets changed.
• Transposition of an expression can be carried out in the same way
as the transposition of a term.

(c) x – 5 = 1 (d) 4x – 9 =21
Solution: Correct answer is (a).
[Hint: x = 5 on multiplying both sides by 2 gives 2x = 10
which on adding 3 both sides gives 2x + 3 =13]

x = 39° [Alternate interior angles]
Again QR||ST and RS is a transversal.
Therefore, y= x [Alternate interior angles]
or y = 39°
Example 13: In Fig. 5.4, are the angles 1

(i) ∠AOD and ∠BOC

are complementary,
(ii) ∠AOC and
∠BOC are
supplementary.
Solution: Since points A, O
and B are collinear
Fig. 5.5
(Given), therefore AB
is a straight line.
(i) As O is a point on the line AB, therefore ∠AOD +
∠DOC + ∠BOC = 180°
or, ∠AOD + ∠BOC + 90° = 180°
or, ∠AOD + ∠BOC = 90°
So, ∠AOD and ∠BOC are complementary angles.
(ii) Also, ∠AOC and ∠BOC are supplementary as
∠AOC + ∠BOC = 180°
A right angle measures 90°. An acute angle measures greater than 0° and
less than 90°. An obtuse angle measures greater than 90° and less than
180°. Complementary angles are two angles whose measures add to 90°.
Supplmentary angles are two angles whose measures add to 180°.
Example 15: In Fig. 5.6 AB||EF, ED||CB

and ∠APE is 39°. Find ∠CQF.
Solution: Since ED||BC and AB is a
transversal, so
so ∠QBP = ∠APE
[Corresponding angles]
or ∠QBP = 39°
Now, AB||EF and BC is a
transversal.
Therefore, ∠FQB = ∠QBP Fig. 5.6
[Alternate interior angles]

or ∠FQB = 39°
Also, ∠CQF + ∠FQB = 180° [Linear pair]
So ∠CQF + 39° = 180°
or ∠CQF = 180° – 39°
or ∠CQF = 141°
Example 16: Out of a pair of complementary angles, one is two-third
of the other. Find the angles.
Solution: Let one angle be x.
So, other angle = 90° – x
2
Thus, × x = 90° – x
3
or 2x = 270° – 3x
or 2x + 3x = 270°
or 5x = 270°
270°
or x= = 54°
5
So, one angle = 54° and the other angle = 90° – 54°= 36°.
Congruent figures have the same size and same shape.

• Segments that have the same length are congruent.

Example 17: In Fig. 5.7, CD intersects the line AB at F, ∠CFB = 50°

and ∠EFA = ∠AFD. Find the
measure of ∠EFC.
Solution: Let ∠EFA = x.
Then ∠AFD = x.
It is given that CD intersects
line AB at F.
Therefore, ∠CFB = ∠AFD
(Vertically opposite angles)
Fig. 5.7
So, x = 50°
But ∠EFA = ∠AFD which gives ∠EFA = 50°

Plan a Strategy
(a) Since we want to find whether the lines are parallel or not,
therefore recall the conditions when the lines are parallel.
The lines are parallel if it satisfies any one of the following,
(1) when corresponding angles are equal
(2) when alternate interior angles are equal
(3) when the sum of interior angles on the same side of
the transversal is 180°.
(b) Find out what type of angles are formed by lines EF, GH, KP
taking AB or CD as transversal.
Solve
• For lines EF and GH, taking CD as transversal, ∠1 and ∠2

are interior angles on the same side of the transversal.
Therefore, we check whether the sum of ∠1 and ∠2 is 180° or
not.
∠1 = 123°, ∠2 = 57°, ∠1 + ∠2 = 123° + 57° = 180°
Since the sum of interior ∠’s on the same side of the
transversal is 180°, therefore EF || GH.
• For lines GH and KP, taking CD as transversal, ∠2 and ∠3
are corresponding ∠’s. If these angles are equal, then lines
are parallel.
∠2 = 57°, ∠3 = 55°
∠2 ≠∠3. Since corresponding angles are not equal,
therefore, GH is not parallel to KP.
• Similarly, for lines EF and KP, taking CD as transversal
∠1 and ∠3 are interior angles on the same side of the
transversal.
∠1 = 123°, ∠3 = 55°, ∠1 + ∠3 = 123° + 55°=178°. Since the
sum is not equal to 1800,
therefore EF is not parallel to KP.
• For lines AB and CD, taking GH as a transversal
∠2 = ∠4 = 57° (vertically opp. ∠’s).
∠5 and ∠4 are interior angles on the same side of the

Therefore, AB is not parallel to CD.
Revise

transversal is 180°.
• GH is not parallel to KP, since corresponding angles formed

• EF is not parallel to KP, since the sum of interior ∠’s on the

• To compare two quantities, their units must be the same.
• Two ratios can be compared by converting them into like fractions.
If the two fractions are equal, we say that the two given ratios are
equivalent.
• If two ratios are equivalent (or equal), then the involved four quantities
are said to be in proportion.
• One of the ways of comparing quantities is percentage. Per cent is
derived from Latin word ‘per centum’ meaning ‘per hundred’.
• Percent is represented by the symbol % and means hundredth too.
• Fractions can be converted into percentages and vice-versa.
• Decimals can also be converted into percentages and vice-versa.
• The buying price of any item is known as its cost price. It is written
in short as CP.
• The price at which an item is sold, is known as its selling price or in
short SP.
• If CP < SP, then a profit is made and Profit = SP – CP.
• If CP = SP, there is no profit or loss.
• If CP > SP, then a loss is made and Loss = CP – SP.
Profit
• Profit per cent = ×100

• ‘Principal’ P, means the borrowed money.

• The extra money paid by borrower for using borrowed money for
given time is called ‘Interest’ I.
• The period for which the money is borrowed is called ‘Time Period’
T.
• To determine Interest to be paid, we have ‘Rate of Interest’.
• Rate of Interest is generally given in per cent per year.
• On a principal of  P at R % rate of interest per year, the interest
P× R × T
(simple) I paid for T years is given by I= .

written as per cents. Listen to any sporting event, and you’ll probably
hear statistics reported using per cents. Per cents are everywhere. But
what are per cents? The word per cent means for each 100, so a per cent
50 1
like 50% is the same amount as the fraction (or ) or the decimal
100 2
0.50 (or 0.5). Fractions, decimals, and per cents can be used
interchangeably to represent parts of a whole quantity.
Often, the word percent is used in connection with the per cent of some
quantity. For example, you might hear, “Only 3% of voters voted in the
last election.” No matter what the quantity, 100% of a quantity always
means all of it, and 50% always means half of it. The amount indicated
by a certain per cent changes as the size of the quantity changes. For
example, 50% of 10 dogs is 5 dogs, but 50% of 100 dogs is 50 dogs.

RATIONAL NUMBERS
(A) Main Concepts and Results
• A number that can be expressed in the form p , where p and q are

q
integers and q ≠ 0 , is called a rational number.
• All integers and fractions are rational numbers.

• If the numerator and denominator of a rational number are multiplied
or divided by a non-zero integer, we get a rational number which is
said to be equivalent to the given rational number.
• Rational numbers are classified as positive, zero or negative rational
numbers. When the numerator and denominator both are positive
integers or both are negative integers, it is a positive rational number.
When either the numerator or the denominator is a negative integer,
it is a negative rational number.
• The number 0 is neither a positive nor a negative rational number.
• There are unlimited number of rational numbers between two rational
numbers.
• A rational number is said to be in the standard form, if its
denominator is a positive integer and the numerator and
denominator have no common factor other than 1.
• Two rational numbers with the same denominator can be added by
adding their numerators, keeping with the same denominator.
• Two rational numbers with different denominators are added by first
taking the LCM of the two denominators and then converting both
the rational numbers to their equivalent forms having the LCM as
the denominator and adding them as above.
15-04-2018
UNIT 8
• While subtracting two rational numbers, we add the additive inverse

of the rational number to be subtracted to the other rational number.
Product of numerators
• Product of rational numbers =
Product of denominators
• The reciprocal of a non-zero rational number p is q .

q p
• To divide one rational number by the other non-zero rational number,
we multiply the first rational number by the reciprocal of the other.

Example11: Which of the following pairs represent equivalent rational

numbers ?

(i) and (ii) –3 and 24
12 48
Solution:
7 28
(i) and
12 48
7
Now, first rational number is and it is already in the
12
standard form because there is no common factor in
7 and 12 other than 1.
7
So, is in its standard form (a)
12
28
Now, Consider
48
28 = 2 × 2 × 7
48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
HCF = 2 × 2 = 4
15-04-2018
MATHEMATICS
Now, to reduce the rational numbers to its standard form,

we divide the numerator and denominator by their HCF.
First we take HCF of 28 and 48:
28 28 ÷ 4 7
Now, = = (b)
48 48 ÷ 4 12
From (a) and (b), we can say that the rational numbers
7 28
and are equivalent.
12 48
–2 –16
(ii) –3 and 24
–2
First we multiply the numerator and denominator of
–3
by (–1), we get
–2 (–2) × (–1) 2
= = (a)
–3 (–3) × (–1) 3
Now it is in its standard form.
16
Now, Consider
24
HCF of 16 and 24 is 2 × 2 × 2 = 8
16 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
HCF = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8
–16 –16 ÷ 8 –2
So, = = (b)
24 24 ÷ 8 3
From (a) and (b), we can say that the rational numbers
–2 –16
and
–3 24 are not equivalent.

Solution : Area of school playground is 160 m × 80 m = 12800 m2

Area kept for swings = 80 m × 80 m = 6400 m2
Area of path parallel to the width of playground
= 80 m × 1.5 m = 120 m2
Area of path parallel to the remaining length of
playground
= 80 m × 1.5 m = 120 m2.
Area common to both paths = 1.5 m × 1.5 m = 2.25 m2.
[since it is taken twice for measuerment it is to be
subtracted from the area of paths]
Total area covered by both the paths
= (120 + 120 – 2.25) m2
= 237.75 m2.
Area covered by grass = Area of school playground – (Area
kept for swings + Area covered by paths)
= 12800 m2 – [ 6400 + 237.75] m2
= (12800 – 6637.75) m2
= 6162.25 m2.

Solution: Area covered by swimming pool = 30 m × 20 m= 600 m2.

Length of outer rectangle = (30 + 8 + 8) m = 46 m
and its breadth = (20 + 5 + 5) m = 30 m
So, the area of outer rectangle
= 46 m × 30 m = 1380 m2.
Area of cemented path =
Area of outer rectangle – Area of swimming pool
= (1380 – 600) m2 = 780 m2.
Cost of cementing 1 m2 path =  200
So, total cost of cementing the path

Example 14: Rectangle ABCD is formed in a
circle as shown in Fig. 9.12. If AE
= 8 cm and AD = 5 cm, find the
perimeter of the rectangle.
Solution: DE = EA + AD = (8 + 5)cm =13 cm
DE is the radius of the circle.
Also, DB is the radius of
Fig. 9.12
the circle.
Next, AC = DB [Since diagonals of a rectangle are equal
in length]
Therefore, AC = 13 cm.
From ∆ADC, DC2 = AC2 – AD2 = 132 – 52 = 169 – 25 =
144 = 122
So, DC = 12
Thus, length of DC is 12 cm.
Hence, perimeter of the rectangle ABCD

Did You Know

Area is expressed in square units, such as square metre or square
centimetres. You can abbreviate square units by writing the abbreviation
for the unit followed by a power raised 2. For example, an abbreviation for
squares metre is m2.
Volume is expressed in cubic units. You can abbreviate cubic units by
writing the abbreviation for the unit followed by a power raised 3. For
example, an abbreviation for cubic centimetres is cm3.

• The terms having the same algebraic factors are called like terms.
• The terms having different algebraic factors are called unlike terms.
• Expression with one term is called a 'Monomial’.
• Expression with two unlike terms is called a 'Binomial’.
• Expression with three unlike terms is called a 'Trinomial’.
• In general, an expression with one or more than one term (with non-

When you change a variable expression to a word expression you, can

say the same thing in several different ways.
+ : Instead of “2 added to x”, you could say “x increased by 2,” or
“2 more than x,” or “the sum of x and 2.”
– : “2 subtracted from x” means the same as “2 less than x,” or
“x decreased by 2.”
× : “x multiplied by 2” means the same as ”the product of x and 2,”
“x times 2,” or “twice x.”
÷ : you could say: either “x divided by 3” or “one third of x.”
Example 2: The coefficient of xy in 3x2 zy + 7xyz – 2z2x is

(a) 3z (b) – 2 (c) 7yz (d) 7z

In algebra you’ll often have to work with numbers whose values you don’t
know. When you solve math problems, you can use a letter or a symbol
to stand in for the number. The letter or symbol is called a variable.
The number that the variable is being multiplied by is called the

coefficient – like the 2 above.
Any number not joined to a variable is called a constant – like the 4
above. It’s called that because its value doesn’t change, even if the value
of the variable changes.
A term is a group of numbers and variables. One or more terms added
together make an expression. For example, in the expression above, 2k is
one term and 4 is another term. In the expression 3 + 4x – 5wyz, the
terms are 3, 4x and – 5wyz.

Expressions are mathematical phrases that may contain numbers,
operations and variables. The operations act like a set of instructions
that tell you what to do with the numbers and variables. For example,
2k + 4 tells you to double k, then add four to it.
There are two types of expressions – numeric and variable.
• Numeric expressions have numbers in them, and often operations –
but they don’t include any variables:
→ 5 + 13
→ 2×5–6
→ 8+7÷6
• Variable expressions have variables in them, and may also include
numbers and operations :
→ 5h
→ 5x
→ 5k+4
Example 13: Simplify the expression by combining the like terms:

7x3 – 3x2y + xy2 + x2y – y3
Solution: Rearranging the terms in the given expression, we get
7x3 – 3x2y + x2y + xy2 – y3
= 7x3 + (– 3x2y) + x2y + xy2 – y3
= 7x3+(– 3 + 1) x2y + xy2 – y3 [Using distributive property]
= 7x3+(– 2) x2y + xy2 – y3
= 7x3– 2x2y + xy2 – y3
Example 14: Subtract the sum of – 3x3y2 + 2x2y3 and – 3x2y3 – 5y4
from x4 + x3 y2 + x2y3 + y4.

Sum = – 3x3y2 – x2y3 – 5y4
Now, x4 + x3y2 + x2 y3 + y4
– 3x3y2 – x2y3 – 5y4
(+) (+) (+)

The parts of a variable expression that are separated by addition or
subtraction signs are called terms. The variable expression x + 3y + 2x – 4y2
contains four terms : x, 3y, 2x and – 4y2. The terms x and 2x are like terms
because they have the same variable raised to the same power. The terms
3y and 4y2 are unlike terms because they have different variable parts.
Variables are all well and good, but they’re only useful when you use them
to solve math problems. You can use variables and numbers to describe a
problem in math terms — it’s called an expression.

b = –2:
(i) a2 + b2 + 3ab (ii) a3 + a2b + ab2 + b3

Solve
• 3 × length of one side = perimeter

Therefore, 3 × (2x + 3) = 240
240
Thus, 2x + 3 = = 80
3
⇒ 2x + 3 = 80
⇒ 2x = 80 – 3
⇒ 2x = 77
77
⇒x=
2
Therefore, x = 38.5
Hence, Side = 2x + 3 = (2 × 38.5) + 3 = 80 cm.
Revise
• The above answer is verified by multiplying side with

3 and comparing the result with given perimeter.
3 × 80 = 240 = Perimeter given in question.

For any number a ≠ 0, a0 = 1.
You can show this by using the division of powers rule.
If you start with 1000, and keep dividing by 10, you get this pattern:
1000 = 103 Now divide by 10 : 103 ÷ 101 = 10(3 – 1) = 102

100 = 102 Now divide by 10 : 102 ÷ 101 = 10(2 – 1) = 101
10 = 101 Now divide by 10 : 101 ÷ 101 = 10(1 – 1) = 100
1 = 100
When you divide 10 by 10, you have 101 ÷ 101 = 10(1–1) = 100.
You also know that 10 divided by 10 is 1. So you can see that 100 = 1.
This pattern works for any base.
For instance, 61 ÷ 61 = 6(1–1) = 60, and 6 divided by 6 is 1. 6 0 = 1.

(ii) Two sides and the angle between them (SAS).
(iii) Two angles and a side (AAS) or (ASA).
(iv) The hypotenuse and a leg in the case of a right-angled triangle

• A figure has line symmetry, if there is a line about which the figure may
be folded so that the two parts of the figure will coincide with each other.
• Regular polygons have equal sides and equal angles. They have
multiple (i.e., more than one) lines of symmetry.
• Each regular polygon has as many lines of symmetry as it has sides.
• Mirror reflection leads to symmetry, under which the left-right
orientation have to be taken care of.

• Rotation turns an object about a fixed point. This fixed point is

called the centre of rotation.
• The angle by which the object rotates is the angle of rotation. Rotation
may be clockwise or anti-clockwise.
• A half-turn means rotation by 180°. A quarter-turn means rotation by 90°.
• If, after a rotation, a figure or an object coincides with the original
position, we say that it has a rotational symmetry.
• In a complete turn (of 360°), the number of times. the figure coincides
with its original position is called its order of rotational symmetry.
• Every figure has a rotational symmetry of order 1 (i.e. a rotational
symmetry of angle 360°). In such a case it is considered that the
figure has no rotational symmetry.
• Some shapes have only one line of symmetry, like the letter E; some
have only rotational symmetry, like the letter S; and some have both
vertical and horizontal lines of symmetry, like the letter H.
• Plane figures are of two-dimensions (2-D) and the solid shapes are
of three-dimensions (3-D).
• The corners of a solid shape are called its vertices, the line segments/
curves which form its skeleton are its edges and its flat surfaces are
its faces.

• Recall the definitions of edges, vertices and faces of a 3-D

figure and try to co-relate them to the figure given above.
Solve
• The different plain regions are called faces. Hence, there

are 5 faces.
• The line segments formed, where the faces meet are called
edges. Hence, there are 8 edges.
• Edges meet at a point which are called vertices. Hence,
there are 5 vertices.
• Therefore, a square pyramid has 5 faces, 5 vertices and
8 edges.

First you must split the pearls into equal groups. Place any three pearls on
one side of the scale and any other three on the other side. If one side
weighs less than the other, then the fake pearl is on that side. But you are

not done yet! You still need to find the imitation, and you can use the scale
only once more. Take any of the two pearls from the lighter pan, and weigh
them against each other. If one pan is lighter, then that pan contains the
fake pearl. If they balance, then the leftover pearl of the group is the fake.
If the scale balances during the first weighing, then you know the fake
is in the third group. Then you can choose two pearls from that group for
the second weighing. If the scale balances, the fake is the one left. If it is
unbalanced, the false pearl is the lighter one.
