Question

• A. $2$
• B. $-2$
• C. $5$
• D. $-5$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$-2$

Step:Explanation for correct option.

option-(B):$-2$

To find $5$ more than '$-7$', we will add $5$ to $-7$

$\therefore 5\mathrm{more}\mathrm{than}-7=-7+5$

$=-2$ ($\because \left|7\right|>\left|5\right|$, So we shall subtract $5$ from $7$ and will use the sign of $7$)

Therefore, the correct answer is $-2$
