Question

MINUED - Subtrahend is equal to. a) difference b) minued c) none of these​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a basic concept that subtraction of any two quantities always results in difference and the final outcome depends on the signs of both the quantities.

If the minuend is greater than subtrahend it results in positive outcome as per the given question, if the minuend is smaller than subtrahend it results in negative outcome and if both are equal then it results in 0.

Let minuend =4

Subtrahend =2

Then minuend −subtrahend

=4−2=2

Then, minuend −subtrahend always gives the difference

So, the correct answer is “Option B”.

Note: Minuend: The number is subtracted from which we subtract another number is called a minuend.

Subtrahend: The number which we subtract from another number in a subtraction sentence is called a subtrahend. Students must note that the subtract sentence consists of 3numbers in which, 1st is minuend, 2nd is subtrahend and 3rd is difference.
