Q 1 - Substract the following integers:

6 – 2

Answer : B

Explanation

Step 1:

Rule: If the numbers are of opposite signs, find their difference and put the sign of the greater number.

Step 2:

Difference of [6, 2] =6 – 2 = 4; Sign of greater number is +.

So, 6 − 2 = +4

Q 2 - Substract the following integers:

− 5 − 3

Answer : C

Explanation

Step 1:

Rule: If the numbers are of same sign, we add them and put their sign on the sum.

Step 2:

Sum of [5, 3] = 5 + 3 = 8; Sign of numbers is (−).

So, −5 −3 = −8

Q 3 - Substract the following integers:

2 – 7

Answer : D

Explanation

Step 1:

Rule: If the numbers are of opposite signs, find their difference and put the sign of the greater number.

Step 2:

Difference of [7, 2] =7 – 2 = 5; Sign of greater number is (−).

So, 2 − 7 = −5

Q 4 - Substract the following integers:

−3 − 4

Answer : A

Explanation

Step 1:

Rule: If the numbers are of same sign, we add them and put their sign on the sum.

Step 2:

Sum of [3, 4] = 3 + 4 = 7; Sign of numbers is (−).

So, −3 − 4 = −7

Q 5 - Substract the following integers:

3 – 8

Answer : C

Explanation

Step 1:

Rule: If the numbers are of opposite signs, find their difference and put the sign of the greater number.

Step 2:

Difference of [8, 3] =8 – 3 = 5; Sign of greater number is (−).

So, 3 − 8 = −5

Q 6 - Substract the following integers:

−8 −6

Answer : D

Explanation

Step 1:

Rule: If the numbers are of same sign, we add them and put their sign on the sum.

Step 2:

Sum of [8, 6] = 8 + 6 = 14; Sign of numbers is (−).

So, −8 − 6 = −14

Q 7 - Substract the following integers:

6 – 10

Answer : A

Explanation

Step 1:

Rule: If the numbers are of opposite signs, find their difference and put the sign of the greater number.

Step 2:

Difference of [10, 6] =10 – 6 = 4; Sign of greater number is (−).

So, 6 − 10 = −4

Q 8 - Substract the following integers:

−8 − 4

Answer : B

Explanation

Step 1:

Rule: If the numbers are of same sign, we add them and put their sign on the sum.

Step 2:

Sum of [8, 4] = 8 + 4 = 12; Sign of numbers is (−).

So, −8 − 4 = −12

Q 9 - Substract the following integers:

−6 −10

Answer : C

Explanation

Step 1:

Rule: If the numbers are of same sign, we add them and put their sign on the sum.

Step 2:

Sum of [6, 10] = 6 + 10 = 16; Sign of numbers is (−).

So, −6 − 10 = − 16

Q 10 - Substract the following integers:

6 − 9

Answer : A

Explanation

Step 1:

Rule: If the numbers are of opposite signs, find their difference and put the sign of the greater number.

Step 2:

Difference of [9, 6] =9 – 6 = 3; Sign of greater number is (−).

So, 6 − 9 = −3
