Question

Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:

The sum of two integers is −8. If one of the integers is 12, then the other is

(a) 20 (b) 4 (c) −4 (d) −20

Answer 1

Sum of two integers = −8

One of the integers = 12

∴ Other integer = Sum of two integers − One of the integers

= −8 − 12

= −8 + (−12)

= −20

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
