Q.18Arrange the following integers in ascending order. (i) -11, 12, -13, 14, -15, 16, -17, 18, -19, -20 (ii) -28, 6, -5, -40, 8, 0, 12, -1, 4, 22 (iii) -100, 10, -1000, 100, 0, -1, 1000, 1, -10v
Answer:

(i) -11, 12, -13, 14, -15, 16, -17, 18, -19, -20
First separating the positive integers 12, 14, 16, 18 and the negative integers -11,-13,-15,-17,-19,-20.
Then arranging the positive integers in ascending order we get 12, 14, 16, 18 and negative integers in ascending order as -20, -19, -17, -15, -13, -11 4
Now the ascending order : -20, -19, -17, -15, -13, -11, 12, 14, 16, 18.
(ii) -28, 6, -5, -40, 8, 0, 12, -1, 4, 22
Positive integers are 6, 8, 12, 4, 22 Negative integers are -28, -5, -40, -1
Arranging the positive integers in ascending order we get 4, 6, 8, 12, 22 and the negative integers in ascending order -40, -28, -5, -1
The number 0 is neither positive nor negative and stands in the middle.
In ascending order : -40, -28, -5, -1, 0, 4, 6, 8,12, 22
(iii) -100, 10, -1000, 100, 0, -1, 1000, 1, -10
Separating positive integers 10, 100, 1000, 1 and negative integers -100, -1000, -1, -10.
Now the positive integers in ascending order 1,10,100,1000 and the negative integers in ascending order. -1000, -100, -10, -1
Also ‘0’ stand in the middle as its is neither positive nor negative.
∴ The numbers in ascending order: -1000, -100, -10, -1, 0, 1, 10, 100, 1000.
