(ii) (-21) × [(-4) + (-6)] = [(-21) × (-4) ] + [(-21) × (-6)]
Solution:
(i) 18 × [7 + (-3)] = [18 x 7] + [18 x (-3)]
LHS: 18 × (7 + (-3)] = 18 × (4) = 72
RHS:[18 × 7] + [18 × (-3)] = 126 + (-54) = 72
∴ LHS = RHS

(ii) (-21) × [(-4) + (-6)] = [(-21) × (-4) ] + [(-21) x (-6)]
LHS:(-21) × [(-4) + (-6)] = (-21) × (-10) = 210
RHS: [(-21) × (-4)] + [(-21) × (-6)] = (84) + (126)= 210
∴ LHS=RHS

Question 3.
A certain freezing process requires that room temperature be lowered from 40°C at the rate of 5°C every hour. What will be the room temperature 10 hours after the process begins?
Solution:
At present, the room temperature 40°C
The total decrease in temperature after 10 hours at the rate of 5°C a hour = 10 × 5 = 50°
∴ Temperature after 10 hours = 40° – 50° = – 10°C.

Question 5.
A merchant on selling rice earns a profit of ₹ 10 per bag of basmati rice sold and a loss of ₹ 5 per bag of 1 non-basmati rice.

(i) He sells 3,000 bags of basmati rice and 5,000 bags ofnon-basmati rice in a month. What is his profit or loss in a month?
(ii) What is the number of basinati rice bags he must sell to have neither profit nor loss, if the number of bags of non-basmati rice sold is 6,400.
Solution:
i) Profit on 3,000 bags of basmati rice = 3,000 × 10 = ₹ 30,000
Loss on 5,000 bags of non-basmati rice = 5,000 × 5 = ₹ 25,000
Net profit or loss = 30,000 – 25,000 = ₹ 5000 profit
Another Method : Net profit or loss = 3,000 × 10 + 5,000(-5)
= 30,000 – 25,000 = ₹ 5,000

ii) As there is no loss or gain
Profit on basmati rice= Loss on non-basmati rice
But loss on nonbasrnati rice = 6,400 × 5 = ₹ 32,000
∴ Number of bags of basmati rice sold = \(\frac{32,000}{10}\) = 3200

Question 2.
Solve the following equations by trial and error method.
(i) 2 + y = 7
(ii) a – 2 = 6
(iii) 5m = 15
(iv) 2n = 14
Solution:
(i) 2 + y = 7
if y = 1; LHS = 2 + y = 2 + 1 = 3 ≠ 7
If y = 2; LHS = 2 + 2 = 4 ≠ 7
If y = 3; LHS = 2 + 3 = 5 ≠ 7
If y = 4; LHS = 2 + 4= 6 ≠ 7
If y = 5; LHS = 2 + 5 = 7 = 7 = RHS
∴ y = 5 is the solution of 2 + y = 7

(ii) a – 2 = 6
As a – 2 = 6 ; the value of ‘a’ must be greater than 6.
If a = 7; LHS = 7 – 2 = 5 ≠ 6
If a = 8; LHS = 8 – 2 = 6 = RHS
∴ a = 8 is the solution of a – 2 = 6

(iii) 5m = 15
If m = 1 then LHS = 5 × 1 = 5 ≠ b15
m = 2 then LHS = 5 × 2 = 10 ≠ 15
m = 3 then LHS = 5 × 3 = 15 = 15
∴ m = 3 is the solution of 5m = 15

(iv) 2n = 14
If n = 1 then LHS = 2 × 1 = 2 ≠ 14
n = 2 then LHS = 2 × 2 = 4 ≠ 14
n = 3 then LHS = 2 × 3 = 6 ≠ 14
n = 4 then LHS = 2 × 4 = 8 ≠ 14
n = 5 then LHS = 2 × 5 = 10 ≠ 14
n = 6 then LHS = 2 × 6 = 12 ≠ 14
n = 7 then LHS = 2 × 7 = 14 ≠ 14
∴ n = 7 is the solution of 2n = 14

Why Hindus worship many forms of God while there is only one form of God in Islamism?
Answer:

1. Hindus worship many Gods. But all the Gods are not human beings, they are energies.

Answer:
Up to the medieval period. Indian society was moaning under the burden of evil social practices and unscrupulous religious beliefs. There were social differences based on birth. Society was divided into many castes. The lower class of the people was treated as untouchables. The pre-eminency of the priestly classes was envied by the people of other castes.

Question 9.
Read the para under the title ‘A Closer Look: Kabir’ on page 186 and comment on it.

A Closer Look: Kabir

Kabir, who probably lived in the fifteenth-sixteenth century, was one of the most influential saints. He was brought up in a family of Muslim julahas or weavers settled near the city of Benares (Varanasi). We have little reliable information about his life.
We get to know of his ideas from a vast collection of verses called sakhis and pads said to have been composed by him and sung by wandering bhajan singers. Some of these were later collected and preserved in the Guru Granth Sahib, Panch Vani, and Bijak.
Kabir’s teachings were based on a complete, indeed vehement, rejection of the major religious traditions. His teachings openly ridiculed all forms of external worship of both Hinduism and Islam, the pre-eminence of the priestly classes, and the caste system. The language of his poetry was a form of spoken Hindi, widely understood by ordinary people.
Kabir believed in a formless Supreme God and preached that the only path to salvation was through bhakti or devotion. Kabir drew his followers from among both Hindus and Muslims.
Answer:
Kabir was a mystic poet and saint of India. His writings have greatly influenced the Bhakti movement. He lives perhaps during 1398 – 1448. He had an enormous influence on Indian philosophy and on Hindi poetry. In India, he is perhaps the most quoted author, with the exception of Tulsidas.
