The correct Answer is:
Let's analyze each statement step by step and determine whether they are true (T) or false (F). ### Statement (i): Since `5 > 3`, therefore `-5 > -3`. **Step 1:** Understand the comparison of positive and negative integers. - Positive integers increase in value as you move to the right on a number line, while negative integers decrease in value as you move to the left. **Step 2:** Compare `5` and `3`. - Since `5` is greater than `3`, this part of the statement is true. **Step 3:** Compare `-5` and `-3`. - On the number line, `-5` is to the left of `-3`. Therefore, `-5` is actually less than `-3`. **Conclusion:** The statement `-5 > -3` is false. - **Final Answer:** F ### Statement (ii): The difference between an integer and its additive inverse is always even. **Step 1:** Define an integer and its additive inverse. - Let the integer be `x`. Its additive inverse is `-x`. **Step 2:** Calculate the difference. - The difference between `x` and `-x` is `x - (-x) = x + x = 2x`. **Step 3:** Analyze the result. - The expression `2x` is always even, regardless of whether `x` is even or odd, because it is a multiple of 2. **Conclusion:** The statement is true. - **Final Answer:** T ### Statement (iii): The sum of three different integers can never be zero. **Step 1:** Consider the sum of three different integers. - Let's take an example: `-3`, `2`, and `1`. **Step 2:** Calculate the sum. - The sum is `-3 + 2 + 1 = 0`. **Step 3:** Analyze the result. - Since we found a combination of three different integers that sum to zero, the statement is false. **Conclusion:** The statement is false. - **Final Answer:** F ### Statement (iv): All whole numbers are integers. **Step 1:** Define whole numbers and integers. - Whole numbers are `0, 1, 2, 3, ...` (non-negative). - Integers include all whole numbers and their negative counterparts: `..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...`. **Step 2:** Analyze the relationship. - Since whole numbers are a subset of integers, all whole numbers are indeed integers. **Conclusion:** The statement is true. - **Final Answer:** T ### Summary of Answers: - (i) F - (ii) T - (iii) F - (iv) T
