Write a pair of integers whose sum gives

a) a negative integer

b) an integer smaller than both the integer

c) an integer smaller than only one of the integer

d) an integer greater than both the integer

Given: - To choose any two integers

a)To get the sum of two integers negative

We have to choose a smaller number with + sign and larger number with – sign

Therefore Let numbers are (+ 5) and (– 8)

Addition of the above numbers

(+ 5) + (– 8) = (– 3)

b) To get an integer smaller than both the integers

we have to choose (– sign) numbers as they are smaller as they

move left from 0 on number line.

Therefore, Let numbers be (– 6) and (– 4)

Addition

(– 6) + (– 4)

= – 6 – 4

= – 10

c) To get a number smaller than any one number

we have to choose two different sign numbers

Therefore, Let numbers be (– 7) and (+ 5)

Addition

(– 7) + (+ 5)

= – 2 hence, smaller than (+ 5) and greater than (– 7)

d) To get integer greater than both numbers

we have to choose + sign numbers

Therefore, Let numbers are (+ 2) and (+ 3)

Addition

= (+ 2) + (+ 3)

= + 5
