Question

- 10
- 7
- 40
- 51

Answer 1

-7 is the largest integer among given options.

Answer 2

Answer:

-7 is the largest number

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 4 negative numbers

-10, -7, -40, -51

we have to choose the number which is largest

As if a>b then

-a<-b i.e sign changes when compare negative numbers i.e

If we have to compare the negative numbers then the number whose mode value is smallest is consider as largest number.

|-10|=10,  |-7}=7, |-40|=40,  |-51}=51

The mode value of -7 is smallest therefore -7 is consider as largest number or we can say -7 is the numbers which is closes to zero.

Hence, option 2 is correct.
