Class 6 Maths - Integers
( Questions and Answers)
Important Points:
⓵ The collection of numbers ....−2, −1, 0, 1, 2 .... is called integers.
⓶ The numbers with the negative sign are called negative integers and the numbers with positive sign are called positive integers.
⓷ One more than the given number gives successor and one less than the given number gives predecessor.
⓸ We can do addition and subtraction of integers on a number line.
⓹ Additive inverse: It is the number which when added to any integer gives the result 0.
⓺ To subtract an integer from another integer it is enough to add the additive inverse of the integer that is being subtracted, to the other integer.

Q3: Represent the following numbers on a number line:
(a) + 5 (b) -10
Answer:
Q4: Adjacent figure is a vertical number line, representing integers. Observe it and locate the following points:
(a) If point D is + 8, then which point is − 8?
(b) Is point G a negative integer or a positive integer?
(c) Write integers for points B and E.
(d) Which point marked on this number line has the least value? (e) Arrange all the points in decreasing order of value.
Answer:
(a) F
(b) Negative integer (−6)
(c) Point B represents 4 and point E represents −10.
(d) E has the least value as it represents −10.
(e) D > C > B > A > O > H > G > F > E
Q5: In each of the following pairs, which number is to the right of the other on the number line?
(a) 2, 9
(b) − 3, − 8
(c) 0, − 1
Answer:
(a) As,9>2
So, 9 is to the right side of 2 on number line.
(b) As, −3 > −8
So, −3 is to the right side of −8 on number line.
(c) As,0>−1
So, 0 is to the right side of −3 on number line.
Q6: Arrange the following in ascending order: –3, –8, 10, –2, 7, 15, –12, 6.
Answer: –12, –8, –3, –2, 6, 7, 10, 15.
Q7: Write all the integers between the given pairs (write them in the increasing order.)
(a) 0 and − 7
(b) − 4 and 4
(c) − 8 and − 15
Answer:
(a) −6 < −5 < −4 < −3 < −2 < −1
(b) −3 <−2 < −1 < 0 < 1 < 2 < 3
(c) −14 < −13 < −12 < −11 < −10 < −9
Q8: With the help of a number line answer the following:
(a) Which number will we reach if we move 4 numbers to the right of − 2.
(b) Which number will we reach if we move 5 numbers to the left of 1.
(c) If we are at − 8 on the number line, in which direction should we move to reach − 13?
(d) If we are at − 6 on the number line, in which direction should we move to reach − 1?
Answer:
(a) We will reach at 2, if we move 4 numbers to the right of −2.
(b) We will reach at −4, if we move 5 numbers to the left of 1.
(c) Clearly, −13 is to the left of −8. Therefore, we should move towards the left direction.
(d) Clearly, −1 is to the right of −6. Therefore, we should move towards the right direction
Q9: (a) Write four negative integers greater than − 20.
(b) Write four negative integers less than − 10.
Answer:
(a) −19, −18, −17, −16
(b) −11, −12, −13, −14

(A) Leh was cooler than Tawang.
(B) Leh was hotter than Tawang.
(C) Leh was as cool as Tawang.
(D) Tawang was cooler than Leh.
Answer: The correct answer is (A).
Q11: State whether each of the following statements is true or false:
(a) Every positive integer is greater than 0.

Q12(MCQ): Every integer less than 0 has the sign
(A) +
(B) –
(C) ×
(D) ÷
Answer: (B) –
Q13: Is zero positive or negative?
Answer: Zero corresponds to the origin. This is the reference point. This does not involve any direction. Therefore zero is neither positive nor negative.
