The correct Answer is:
To express the given situations as positive or negative integers, we will analyze each statement carefully. ### Solution: **a. A fall of 5 m** - A fall indicates a decrease in height or position. In terms of integers, this is represented as a negative value. Therefore, a fall of 5 meters can be expressed as: **Answer: -5** **b. A loss of Rs. 500** - A loss indicates a decrease in wealth or amount. Similar to the first case, this is also represented as a negative value. Thus, a loss of Rs. 500 can be expressed as: **Answer: -500** **c. 10° above normal** - The term "above" indicates an increase or gain in temperature. This is represented as a positive value. Therefore, 10 degrees above normal can be expressed as: **Answer: +10** (or simply 10, since positive values are often written without the '+' sign) ### Final Answers: - a. -5 - b. -500 - c. +10
