(a) -124,-125 (b) -124,-122
(c) -124,-123 (d) -125,-126
1. (b) The predecessor of -123=-123-1=-124
and the successor of -123=-123+1=-122
2. Which of the following statements is true ?
(a) 4 > -5 (b) -3 > -2
(c) 0 < -1 (d) 3 > 4
2. (a)
On the number line show that 4 > -5.
3. The absolute value of an integer is always >…….or equal to ……
(a) 0, 1 (b) 1, 0
(c) -1, 1 (d) 0, 0
3. (d) since, 3 - 3 =0
and 7 - 8 = - 1 =1
4. If we add -13 to the difference of -7 and 5. Then we have
(a) -24 (b) -23
(c) -26 (d) -25
4. (d) Firstly we shall find the difference between -7 and 5.
The difference between -7 and 5=-7-5=-12
The required answer = (-13)+(-12)=-25.
5. -5 ´-4=…….
(a) -20 (b) 20
(c) Both (d None of them
5. (b) (negative integer) ´(negative integer)= positive integer.
So,-5 ´-4=20
6. Simplification of 18 + [3+{7–8+(6-5)+3}-9] is
(a) 15 (b) -15
(c) 14 (d) 13
6. (a) by the rule of BODMAS,
= 18+[3+{7-8+(6-5)+3}-9]
= 18+[3+{7-8+1+3}-9]
= 18+[3+{7+1+3-8}-9]
= 18+[3+{11-8}-9]
= 18+[3+3-9]
= 18+[6-9]
= 18-3=15
7. If D is an operation such that for integers a and b
a D b=-a+b+(-2);
then 2 D -4 equals to
(a) -8 (b) -7
(c) -6 (d) 8
7. (a) to given
-a D b=-a+b+(-2)
here, a=2 and b=-4
-2 D -4=-2+(-4) +(-2)
by,the sum of negative integers always negative.
Hence, -2 D -4=-8.
8. The sum of two integers is 23. If one integer is -11, the other
integer is
(a) -34 (b) 34
(c) 33 (d) 35
8. (b) Let required integer be x.
Then according to question
x+(-11)=23
x=23+11=34.
9. While playing cards, Ram won Rs 79 in the first game, lost Rs 60 in
the second game, again won rs 45 in the third game and finally lost Rs
100 in the fourth game. Find his final loss or gain.
(a) 36 loss (b) 60 gain
(c) 50 loss (d) 70 gain
9. (a) Here we shall show negative sign for loss and positive sign for won.
So, Ram got=79-60+45-100
= 79+45-60-100
= 124-160 = -36
negative sign show that Ram got loss of Rs 36.

(c) 7, 3, 0, -1, -2, -4 (d) -6, -4, -2, 0, 1, 2
11. (a) According to number line, its clear
We know that if we start on left to right, then we get ascending
order, and when we start on right to left we have descending
order.
12. The value of 12 ÷ (-3) is
(a) -4 (b) -3
(c) 4 (d) 3
12. (a) a ÷ b= negative integer, if b is any positive integer.
Here b is negative, and then we have -4.
2
13. 1+3-5+7-9+11-13=?
(a) -5 (b) -6
(c) -4 (d) -7
13. (a) 1+3-5+7-9+11-13 = 1+3+7+11-5-9-13
= 22-27
= -5
14. Subtract -17 from -25, we have
(a) 8 (b) -8
(c) 7 (d) -7
14. (a) -17-(-25) = -17+25 = 25-17 = 8
15. Which of the following statement is true ?
(a) (positive integer) ´ (positive integer) = negative integer
(b) (negative integer) ´(positive integer) = positive integer
(c) (negative integer) ´(neagative integer) = positive integer
(d) negative integer – positive integer = positive integer
15. (c) always, (negative integer) ´ (negative integer) = negative integer
16. The product of unlike sign always………..
(a) Positive (b) Negative
(c) Nutral (d) None of them
16. (b) The product of unlike sign always negative.
because, -1 ´ 2 = -2
2 ´ -2=-4
3 ´ -2= -6 etc.
17. The least negative integer in the given below
(a) -1 (b) 0
(c) -2 (d) -7

18. The additive inverse of -29 is………
(a) 28 (b) 27
(c) 29 (d) 26
18. (c) the additive inverse of -29 is 29 as positive sign is inverse of negative sign.
19. Which is greater between (9-10) ´ 11 and 9-10 ´ 11 ?
(a) (9-10) ´ 11 (b) 9-10 ´ 11
(c) both of them (d) none of them
19. Firstly, we shall simplify (9-10) ´ 11=-1 ´11=-11 (by the rule of BODMAS)
now, 9-10 ´ 11=9-110 =-101
on the number line, -11 comes in right hand side compare of -101.
20. The product of (-3) ´ (-5) ´(-8) ´6 is………
(a) -720 (b) 720
(c) 710 (d) -710
20. (b) = (-3) ´ (-5) ´(-8) ´6
=15 ´ (-8) ´6, since, (negative integer) ´(negative integer)=positive
integer.
3
and (positive integer) ´ (negative integer) = negative integer.
= -120 ´6 = -720
21. Fill in the blank of 10+8+…….= -32
(a) 14 (b) -14
(c) 50 (d) -50
21. (d) Let x be the required integer.
Then, 10+8+x=-32
18+x= -32, x = -32-18, x=-50
22. Which of the following statement is true?
(a) (3)5 and (5)3 are equal
(b) The cube of a negative integer is a positive integer.
(c) Even power of an integer is positive.
(d) Even power of an integer is negative.
22. (c) Even power of an integer is always positive.
Because, (-1)2 = -1 ´-1=1, (1)2 = 1 ´1.

smallest among them?
(a) -6, -7, -8, and -6 is greatest and -8 is smallest
(b) -5, -6, -7, and -6 is greatest and -7 is smallest
(c) -7, -8, -9, and -7 is greatest and -9 is smallest
(d) -5, -6, -7, -8, and -5 is greatest and -8 is smallest.

24. The value of (1)2+(-1)3-(2)2+(-1)46 is
(a) -5 (b) -6
(c) -3 (d) -8
24. (c) We know that
Even power of any integer is always positive.
Odd power of any integer is always negative.
Here, 2, 2, 46 are even.
(1)2+(-1)3 –(2)2 +(-1)46=1-1-4+1
=2-5 = -3
