Question

Rehaan is playing with a regular die. If the number that turns up is an even number, he will gain 5 times the number that comes up. If the number he gets is odd, he will lose 12 times the number that comes up. Rehaan tossed a 5. Express his result as an integer.

• A. -25
• B. 25
• C. 60
• D. -60

Answer 1

The correct option is D -60

Since Rehaan tossed an odd number he will lose points. We can express the loss of points as negative integers.
Hence the result can be expressed as :
$-5\times 12=-60$
