(b). 3, -3, 5, -5, 7

(c). 6, -7, -8, 9, -10

Answer 1

Each option: 1 Mark

(a). 15, 13, 12, 0, -14

$\Rightarrow \left(\text{15 is the largest and -14 is the smallest among the given integers}\right)$

(b). 7, 5, 3, -3, -5

$\Rightarrow \left(\text{7 is the largest and -5 is the smallest among the given integers}\right)$

(c). 9, 6, -7, -8, -10

$\Rightarrow \left(\text{9 is the largest and -10 is the smallest among the given integers}\right)$
