INTEGERS MCQs
:
A, B, and C
A product of two integers can be positive or negative or zero.
Example:
5×6=30 or
−5×(−6)=30,
5×(−4)=−20,
5×0=0
:
Let x be the integer to be found.
x×(−13) = -143
x = −143−13 = 11
:
C
Here,
(1−2)=−(2−1)=−1
(3−4)=−(4−3)=−1
.
.
(19−20)=−(20−19)=−1.
There are 10 pairs having a value -1.
∴1−2+3−4+5−6 +...........+19−20
= +10×(−1)= −10 [∵x×(−y)=−xy]

C
For any integer a, a ÷ 0 is not defined.
We know that, division is a repeated subtraction.
For example 15÷3 is
15-3 = 12
12-3 = 9
9-3 = 6
6-3 = 3
3-3 = 0
Therefore, 15÷3 = 5.
Similarly 15 ÷ 0 is
15 - 0 = 15
15 - 0 = 15
15 - 0 = 15
15 - 0 = 15 and so on ...
Therefore, division of an integer by 0 is not defined.
:
If 'a' and 'b' are any two integers, then by associative property;
a+(b+c) = (a+b)+c
:
LHS =
8+ (-13) - 15 = 8 + (-28) = -20
RHS =
-15 + (-39) + 6 = -54 + 6 = -48
-20 > -48
∴ 8+ (-13) - 15 is greater than -15 -39 + 6
:
B
−2(2)=−1≠−4
8(−2)=−4
−4(2)=−2≠−4
4(1)=4≠−4
∴ (8, -2) is the required pair.

C
Here,
Sum of 883 and -479
= 883 + (-479) = 883 - 479
= 404
Now, subtracting the sum from -76
= -76 - 404
= -480
:
The additive inverse of a number 'x' is the number that, which when added to 'x' results in zero.
-55 + 55 = 0. Therefore, additive inverse of -55 is 55.
