Question 114

Write a pair of integers whose product is -12 and there lies seven integers between them (excluding the given integers).

Answer 1

For a pair of integers, whose product is -12 and there lies seven integers between them,
Two solutions are possible, i.e. (-6 and 2) and (-2 and 6).
$\Rightarrow (-6)\times 2=-12,-2\times 6=-12$
Ist Pair Let first integer = -6 and second integer = 2
$\Rightarrow (-6)\times 2=(-12)$ and 7 integers are lying between them.

IInd Pair Let first integer = -2 and second integer = 6
$\Rightarrow (-2)\times 6=-12$ and 7 integers are lying between them.
