(ii) -154, 123, -205, -89, -74 
Solution: 
 
(i) – 15, 0, -2, -9, 7, 6, -5, 8 can be written in decreasing order as 
8, 7, 6, 0, -2, -5, -9, -15 
 
(ii) -154, 123, -205, -89, -74 can be written in decreasing order as 
123, - 74, - 89, - 154, - 205 
 
11. Using the number line, write the integer which is: 
(i) 2 more than 3 
(ii) 5 less than 3 
(iii) 4 more than – 9 
Solution: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(i) 2 more than 3 
In order to get the integer 2 more than 3 
We draw a number line from 2 and proceed 3 units to the right to obtain 5 
 
Therefore, 2 more than 3 is 5. 
 
(ii) 5 less than 3 
In order to get the integer 5 less than 3 
We draw a number line from 3 and proceed 5 units to the left to obtain – 2 
 
Therefore, 5 less than 3 is – 2. 
 
(iii) 4 more than – 9 
In order to get the integer 4 more than – 9 
We draw a number line from – 9 and proceed 4 units to the right to obtain -5 
 
Therefore, 4 more than – 9 is – 5. 
 
12. Write the absolute value of each of the following: 
(i) 14 
(ii) – 25 
(iii) 0 
(iv) – 125 
(v) – 248 
(vi) a – 7, if a is greater than 7 
(vii) a – 7, if a - 2 is less than 7 
(viii) a + 4, if a is greater than -4 
(ix) a + 4 if a is less than – 4 
(x) |-3| 
(xi) -|-5| 
(xii) |12 – 5| 
Solution: 
 
(i) The absolute value of 14 is 
|14| = 14

FAQs on Negative Numbers and Integers (Exercise 5.1) RD Sharma Solutions - Mathematics (Maths) Class 6

1. What are negative numbers and integers?
Ans. Negative numbers are numbers less than zero, represented by a minus sign (-) before the number. Integers, on the other hand, include both positive and negative whole numbers, including zero.
2. How are negative numbers and integers represented on a number line?
Ans. On a number line, negative numbers are represented to the left of zero, with increasing negative values as we move further left. Integers are represented by points on the number line, including both positive and negative numbers.
3. How do we perform addition and subtraction with negative numbers and integers?
Ans. To add or subtract negative numbers or integers, we follow the rules of sign. If both numbers have the same sign, we add their absolute values and keep the common sign. If the signs are different, we subtract their absolute values and keep the sign of the number with the larger absolute value.
4. Can negative numbers and integers be multiplied or divided?
Ans. Yes, negative numbers and integers can be multiplied or divided. When multiplying or dividing numbers with the same sign, the result is positive. When multiplying or dividing numbers with different signs, the result is negative.
5. How are negative numbers and integers used in real-life situations?
Ans. Negative numbers and integers are used in various real-life situations, such as measuring temperatures below freezing, representing debts or losses in financial transactions, calculating elevations above and below sea level, and determining positions in a coordinate system.
