Answer 2

Answer:

'Option a' is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Opposite of -45 = 45.

   Absolute value of 45 = 45

∵ 45 = 45, the above statement is true.

b) Opposite of 45 = -45

   Absolute value of -45 = 45

∵ -45 ≠ 45, the above statement is false.

c) Opposite of -45 = 45

   Absolute value of 45 = 45

∵ The condition says that these two integers should not be equal. But they are equal. So, the above statement is false.

d) Opposite of 45 = -45

   Absolute value of 45 = 45

∵ -45 ≠ 45, the above statement is false.
