Question

Which integer does not lie between the successor of 2 and the predecessor of -5 (end numbers not included)?

• A. -6
• B. -4
• C. 0.0
• D. 2

Answer 1

The correct option is A -6

If a movement of only 1 is made to the left on a number line, we get the predecessor of a number.
So, the predecessor of -5 is -6.

Similarly, one more than given number gives its successor.
Successor of 2 is 3.

The integers that lie between -6 and 7 are -5, -4, -3, -2, 0, 1, 2.
So, out of the given options, -6 is incorrect.
