(i) 55
(ii) -300
(iii) +5080
(iv) -2500
(v) 0

Question 2.
Represent the following situations as integers.
i) A loss of ₹ 2000
ii) 2018 CE (AD)
iii) Fishes found at 60 m below the sea level
iv) 18°C below 0°C
v) Gaining 13 points
vi) A jet plane at a height of 2500 m
Solution:
(i) Since loss is negative, a loss of t 2000 is denoted as – ₹ 2000
(ii) Here CE (AD) can be considered as a positive number. Hence CE (AD) 2018 can be represented as + 2018.
(iii) Below sea level is represented as -60 m.
(iv) 18°C below 0°C is represented as – 18°C
(v) Gaining 13 points can be represented as + 13
(vi) Height of 2500 m is represented as + 2500 m.
Question 3.

Question 1.
For two numbers, say 3 and 5, we know that 5 > 3. Will there be a change in the inequality if both the numbers have negative sign before them?
Solution:
We know that 5 > 3
But when we change the sign of both the numbers we get – 5 and – 3.
Here -5 is 2 units to the left of-3 and so – 5 < 3.
∴ The inequality changes when the signs of both the numbers are changed.

Solution:
Given statement is wrong.
We will draw the number line and plot the numbers on it.
So -26 < -15
Question 2.
Which is smaller -3 or -5? Why?

Comparing the numbers from the number line.
– 5 is 2 units to the left of -3 and so -5 is smaller than -3. i.e. – 5 < – 3
Question 3.
Which is greater 7 or -4? Why?
Solution:
7 is a positive integer and lies to the right of 0.-4 is a negative integer and lies to the left of 0
∴ 7 > -4
Question 4.
Which is the greatest negative integer?
Solution:
– 1 is the greatest negative integer.
