Part B: Objective Questions (1 Mark Each)
Choose the correct answer and write the option (a/b/c/d)
(1) The additive inverse of −18 is:
(a) 18 (b) −18 (c) 0 (d) −1
Correct! The additive inverse of −18 is 18 because −18 + 18 = 0.
(2) Which of these is an integer?
(a) −2 (b) 0 (c) 7 (d) All of these
Correct! All of these (−2, 0, 7) are integers.
(3) −5 + (−9) =
(a) −14 (b) 14 (c) 4 (d) −4
Correct! Adding two negative numbers: −5 + (−9) = −14.
(4) 9 − (−6) =
(a) 3 (b) 15 (c) −15 (d) −3
Correct! 9 − (−6) = 9 + 6 = 15.
(5) On a number line, moving to the left means:
(a) Adding (b) Subtracting (c) Multiplying (d) Dividing
Correct! Moving left on a number line represents subtraction or adding negative numbers.
(6) −8 + 5 =
(a) −13 (b) 3 (c) −3 (d) 13
Correct! −8 + 5 = −3.
(7) The opposite of gain of 25 is:
(a) −25 (b) 25 (c) 0 (d) −1
Correct! The opposite of gain of 25 is loss of 25 (represented as −25).
(8) The sum of −7 and 4 is:
(a) −3 (b) 3 (c) −11 (d) 11
Correct! −7 + 4 = −3.
(9) The opposite of −15 is:
(a) 0 (b) 15 (c) −15 (d) 1
Correct! The opposite of −15 is 15.
(10) −4 − (−9) =
(a) −13 (b) 13 (c) 5 (d) −5
