  • Two rational numbers are additive inverse of each other when their sum is zero.

So additive inverse of $\dfrac{2}{7} $ is $ \dfrac{-2}{7}$.

Instead of subtracting 32570 from a number . If 23570 is subtracted . Then what can we say about the answer ?

  1. Increased by 900

  2. Increased by 9000

  3. Decreased by 900

  4. Decreased by 9000


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Let the  number be $x$

We know, $32570>23570$

$\therefore$  $(x-32570)<(x-23570)$
$\Rightarrow$  The difference between the numbers $=32570-23570$
                                                                      $=9000$

$\therefore$  We can say that, instead of subtracting $32570$ from number, if $23570$ is subtracted, then the answer can be increase by $9000$

So the given statement is false.

state whether the following statement are true: 
Additive inverse of a positive integer is negative.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The most general form of a positive integer is $n$ for $n$ being a natural number.

Now the additive inverse of the number is $-(n)$ i.e. $-n$. [ Since $n+(-n)=0$]
So the additive inverse of a positive integer is a negative integer.
So the given statement is true.
Ex:-additive inverse of positive integer $2$ is $-2$ as $[2+(-2)=0]$

Say, the additive inverse of $ -\dfrac{a}{b}$ is $z$.
$\Rightarrow  -\dfrac{a}{b} +z =0$
$\Rightarrow z= \dfrac{a}{b}$

What would be the difference between the place values of the digits at the tens and units places of a number formed by the addition of the greatest six-digit number and the smallest three-digit number?

  1. $81$

  2. $72$

  3. $63$

  4. $54$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The greatest 6 digit number is $=999999$.

The smallest 3 digit number is$=100$.
Therefore there sum$=1000099$.
The tens place value=$90$ and units place vaue $=9$.
Therefore the difference is $81$ .

Subtracting two positive/negative integers with same sign or opposite sign is same as:

  1. Subtracting one positive and one negative integer

  2. Adding two positive integers

  3. Adding two negative integers

  4. Adding one positive and one negative integer


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Subtracting two positive integer involves in one positive and one negative number.
Let x and y be two numbers which are positive.
Subtracting one from other $x-y$ it can also written as $x+(-y)$,This is also known as adding one positive to a negative integer.

A driver is $20$ m below sea level. If he goes further down by $10$m, then find his new position.

  1. $10$m

  2. $-10$m

  3. $30$m

  4. $-30$m


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Sea Level $\rightarrow$ $0$m

Original Position $\rightarrow$ $-20$m (Since he is below sea level)
New Position $\rightarrow$ $-$ ($20+10$) $\rightarrow$ $-30$m


$0$ is the __________ identify for whole numbers, whereas $1$ is the ___________ identify for whole numbers.

  1. Additive, Multiplicative

  2. Multiplicative, Additive

  3. Commutative, Additive

  4. Positive, Not-defined


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When $0$ is added to any given whole number, the resultant number is the given whole number itself. This shows that $0$ is additive identity for whole number.

When $1$ is multiplied to any whole number, the resultant number is the number itself.
Here $0$ and $1$ are not making any change to the number.
Hence option A is correct.

On a hill, the temperature at $8$ p.m. was $2^o$C but at the mid-night of the same day, it fell down to $-3^o$C. By how many degrees did the temperature fall?

  1. $6^o$C

  2. $5^o$C

  3. $2^o$C

  4. $3^o$C


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Temperature difference $\rightarrow$ Temperature at midnight $-$ Temperature at 8p.m.

Temperature difference $\rightarrow$ ($-3$) $-$ ($2$) $\rightarrow$ $-5$
Temperature fall by 5 degree.
Hemce Option B is correct.
