well i would go for they way they do proability sums in ncert....make a tree and then think it can be easily done

Say a1 = 9,
So, we have Possible a2 = 8,7,6,5,4 (Hence 5 possible)
for a3 = 7,6,5,4,3 (Hence 5 possible)
for a4 = (5 possible)
Multiplying we get the total possible no when a1 = 9.
Now possible outcomes of a1 = 5
Hence Multiply that answer by 5.
This should give answer. It may be incorrect

it indeed is..i think (cause there are more possibilities clearly!
anyways i m surprised how did akhil get right answer by his first approach.its a sheeerrrrr coincidence!...when doing elementary counting we get many expressions like [3] 1+ 1+2 + 1+2+3 + 1+2+3+4...................1+2+...8 this can be easily summed and this is just one case....more cases are there and it makes problem laborious!

e1 i m amazed abt that kunl.......
coz otherwise it feels almost impossible to solve this
others plzz try!!

10>a1
a1>a2
a2>a3
a3<a4
a4>a5
a5>a6
a6>a7
a7>-1
10=a1+o
a1=a2+p
a2=a3+q
a3=a4-r
a4=a5+s
a5=a6+t
a6=a7+u
a7=-1+v
__________
11=o+p+q-r+s+t+u+v
find number of solutions of the form (o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v)
That is reqd answer!! :)
