In option (a)
We know that − 7 is to the left of – 5
C

In option (c)
We know that (− 7) + (− 5) = − (7 + 5) = − 12.
So − 12 is to the left of 0
Hence (− 7) + (− 5) < 0.
In option (d)
(− 7) − (− 5) = (− 7) + (additive inverse of − 5) = (− 7) + (5)
= − (7 − 5)
=−2
We know that − 2 is to the left of 0, so (− 7) − (− 5) < 0.

6. If x is greater than 2, then |2 − x| =

©

(a) 2 − x
(b) x − 2
(c) 2 + x
(d) − x – 2
Solution:
The option (b) is correct answer.
We know that if a is negative integer, then |a| = − a

C

So the required number is the HCF of 52 and 65.

©

It can be written as
52 = 4 × 13 and 65 = 5 × 13
HCF 52 and 65 = 13
Hence, the largest number that divides 64 and 72 and leave the remainder
12 and 7 respectively, is 13.
18. The sum of two integers is − 23. If one of them is 18, then the other
is
