Question

Tick the correct answer:

Successor of $-7$ is :

• A. $-8$
• B. $-6$
• C. $-9$
• D. $-5$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$-6$

Successor of any number can be found by adding $1$to the given number.

So successor of $-7$$=(-7)+1=-6$ (addition of two different signed integers will result in subtraction only and sign of the result will be the same as the larger number)

Therefore, option(B) is the correct answer.
