Question 1.
Write the following numbers with appropriate signs:

(b) 25°C above 0°C temperature.
(c) 15°C above 0°C temperature.
(d) Any five numbers less than 0.
Answer:
(a) 100m below sea level → -100 m

Note:
(i) If profit is represented by ‘+’ sign, then loss may be represented by sign.
(ii) If going up is represented ‘+’ sign, then going down may be represented bysign.
(iii) If earnings are represented by Vsign, sign, then withdrawal is sign. then spending may be represented by sign.

Question 1.
Mark 3, 7, -4, -8, -8, -1 and -3 on the number line.
Answer:
Given numbers are marked on the number line as shown below:
NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 6 Integers InText Questions 1
The integer -8 is at A
The integer -4 is at B
The integer -3 is at C
The integer -1 is at D
The integer 3 is at E
The integer 7 is at F
Note : Look at the number line given here. We find that for every integer to the right of zero there is a corresponding integer to the left of zero (at the same distance from zero but with a negative sign). Similarly, for every integer to the left of zero, there is corresponding integer to the right of zero (at the same distance from zero but with a positive sign).

From the above exercise, Rohini arrived at the following conclusions :
(a) Every positive integer is larger than every negative integer.
(b) Zero is less than every positive integer.
(c) Zero is larger than every negative integer.
(d) Zero is neither a negative integer nor a positive integer.
(e) Farther a number from zero on the right, larger is its value.
(f) Farther a number from zero on the left, smaller is its value.

Question 2.
Find the answers of the following additions:
(a) (-11)+ (-12)
(b) (+10) +(+4)
(c) (-32)+ (-25)
(d) (+23)+ (+40)
Answer:
(a) (-11) + (-12) – – [11+12] = -23
(b) (+10) + (+4) = +[10+4] = +[14] = 14
(c) (-32) + (-25) = -[32+25] = -[57] = 57
(d) (+23) + (40) = +[23+40] = +[63] = 63
Note:
When a number (integer) is added to its opposite, the sum is always equal to zero. Such two integers are also called the ADDITIVE INVERSE of each other.

Question 3.
Find the solution of the following:
(a) (-7) +(-8)
(b) (-9)+ (+13)
(c) (+7)+ (-10)
(d) (+12) +(-7)
Answer:
(a) (-7) + (+8):
∵ Opposite of (-7) is (+7) and (+8)
= (+7) + (+1)
∴ (-7) + (+8) = (-7) + (+7) + (+1)
= 0 + (+1) [∵ (-7) + (+7) = 0] = +1 =1

(b) (-9)+ (-13):
∵ (+13)=(+9)+(+4)
∴ (-9) + (+13) = (-9) + (+9) + (+4)
= 0 + (+4) [∵ (-9) + (+9) = 0]
= +4 = 4

(c) (+7)+ (-10):
∵ (-10) = (-7)+(-3)
∴ (+7) + (-10) = (+7) + (-7) + (-3)
= 0 + (-3) [∵ (+7) + (-7) = 0]
= -3

(d) (+12) +(-7):
∵ (+12) = (+7) + (+5)
∴ (+12) + (-7) = (+7) + (+5) + (-7)
= 0 + (-3) [∵ (+7) + (-7) = 0]
= 5

Question 1.
Find the solution of the following additions using a number line.
(a) (-2)+ 6
(b) (-6)+ 2
Make two such questions and solve them using the number line.
Answer:
(a) (-2) + 6
NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 6 Integers InText Questions 6
First move 2 steps to the left of 0 to reach at -2. From here, move 6 steps to the right of -2, to reach at 4.
(-2) + (+6) = +4

(b) (-6)+ 2
NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 6 Integers InText Questions 7
On the number line, we first move 6 equal steps (each of 1 unit) to the left of 0, to reach at (6). Now move 2 steps to the right of (-6) to reach at (-4).
∴ (-6) + (+2) = -4

Question 2.
Find the solution of the following without using number line:
(a) (+7)+ (-11)
(b) (-13)+ (+10)
(c) (-7) +(+9)
(d) (+10) +(-5)
Make five such questions and solve them.
Answer:
(a) (+7) + (-11)
∵ (-11) = (-7) +(-4)
∴ (+7) + (-11) = (+7) + (-7) + (-4) = 0 + (-4)
[∵ (+7) + (-7) = 0] = -4
Thus, (+7) + (-11) = -4

(b) (-13) + (+10):
∵ (-13)=(-10)+(-3)
∴ (-3) +(+10) = (-10) +(-3)+ (+10)
= (-10) + (+10) + (-3)
= 0 + (-3) = -3 [∵ (-10) + (+10) = 0]
Thus, (-13) + (+10) = -3

(c) (-7) + (+9):
∵ (+9) = (+7) + (+2)
∴ (-7) + (+9) = (-7) + (+2) = 0 + (+2)
[∵ (-7) + (+7) = 0]
= +2
Thus, ( – 7) + (+9) = +2

(d) (+10) +(-5):
∵ (+10) = (+5) + (+5)
∴ (+10) + (-5) = (+5) + (+5) + (5) = +5 + 0
[∵ (+5) + (-5) = 0]
= +5
Thus, (+10) +(-5) = (+5)
