Solution
| Column I | Column II |
| (i) The additive inverse of +2 | (B) –2 |
| (ii) The greatest negative integer | (E) –1 |
| (iii) The greatest negative even integer | (B) –2 |
| (iv) The smallest integer greater than every negative integer | (A) 0 |
| (v) Sum of predecessor and successor of –1 | (B) –2 |
Explanation:
- The additive inverse of +2 is –2.
- The greatest negative integer is –1.
- The greatest negative even integer is –2.
- The smallest integer 0 is greater than every negative integer.
- Predecessor and successor of –1 are –2 and 0 respectively.
∴ Sum = –2 + 0 = –2
