Question 7

The least integer lying between -10 and -15 is

(a) -10

(b) -11

(c) -15

(d) -14

Answer 1

Ans. (d)
For negative integers, the number farthest away from '0' on the number line has the least value.

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

Among -11,-12,-13 and -14, -14 is farthest away from zero on the number line.

Hence -14 is the least integer lying between -10 and -15.
