Question

The greatest integer lying between $-10$ and $-15$ is

(a) -10

(b) -11

(c) -15

(d) -14

Answer 1

For negative integers, the number closest to $0$ on the number line has the greatest value.

The integers lying between $-10$ and $-15$ are $-11,-12,-13$ and $-14$.

Among $-11,-12,-13$ and $-14$, the closest to zero on the number line is $-11$.

Hence, $-11$ is the greatest integer lying between $-10$ and $-15$.
