Ted found out that every number loved and missed $0$ . But, where is $0$ ? And why was $- 1$ lying about $0$ being smaller? Ted knew that $0$ was smaller than $1$ and greater than $- 1$ . So, it must lie between $- 1$ and $1$ right? But it can neither be in the state of negative integers nor positive integers because it belonged to neither.

Suddenly, Ted knew the answer, which was:

Solution

The correct option is C
0 is stuck inside the wall

In the world of integers, the wall divides the two states. So… So... yes, you got it. $0$ is there inside the wall. Maybe when the wall was constructed, he got stuck inside. This is because it can’t be in either state, as it belongs to neither.

Surprised to know that $- 1$ was the largest number here, Ted asked $- 13$ about the smallest number. When it told him to ask $- 14$ about the smallest number, he understood that it is impossible to find the smallest negative integer. To find $0$ , Ted went to its house with $- 13$ and found it was empty.

After that Ted asked $- 13$ about zero. He was shocked when it said that $0$ was kidnapped by the positive integers and that its house has always been empty.
How is this even possible that $0$ is not in the state of positive integers as well as negative integers?

$0$ was very happy to finally get to meet other numbers after a long long time. Also, every number was very angry at $- 1$ . Everybody told Ted to be the judge of what should be done to $- 1$ . $- 1$ realized its mistake and asked for forgiveness. Ted forgave $- 1$ and finally, a world of integers was formed where no number was largest or smallest.

Then out of curiosity, Ted asked $0$ , “How many integers actually are there in this world?” $0$ replied – “There are __ integers.”

After listening to $- 13$ , Ted went to the king, - $1$ , and told him everything that $1$ had told Ted about $0$ . On this $- 1$ asked, “Then, where is $0$ ?” Ted thought and thought about this, but couldn’t get the answer. Then something struck his head. He asked $- 1$ , “Is ‘ $0$ ’ larger or smaller than you?”

$- 1$ replied: “Of course it is smaller than me, I am the king!” Is this statement given by $- 1$ true or false?

When we divide two integers, we can get a/an _____.

When Ted entered the class, Mr. McMurphy was teaching integers!! Ted didn’t even know what was going on in the class before, but, the moment he heard the word ‘integer’ from his mouth, he became super attentive. Suddenly, Mr. McMurphy started asking questions.

He said: “If you add or subtract two integers, the result will always be an integer. What is this property called?” Thinking that anytime he could ask him, Ted started looking at the book for the answer. To his relief, one of his classmates gave right answer. The right answer was -
