Answer:
(a) False: Scalars need not be constant. Example: distance travelled by a moving object.
(b) Scalars can be positive as well as negative, for eg. Temperature can be -20 deg Celsius. Hence, above statement is false.
(c) Scalar quantities have dimensions, they do not have directions. Distance is scalar and has dimension. Hence, it is a false statement.
(d) False: A scalar quantity such as gravitational potential can vary from one point to another in space.
(e) Scalar quantity does not vary with axes, hence the above statement is true.
