NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 6 – Integers Exercise 6.2
Ques. 1. Using the number line write the integer which is:
(a) 3 more than 5
(b) 5 more than –5
(c) 6 less than 2
(d) 3 less than –2
Sol. 1.   (a) 3 more than 5
Moving 3 right of 5, we reach at 8. Hence, 8 is 3 more than 5.
(b) 5 more than –5
Moving 5 right of –5, we reach at 0. Hence, 0 is 5 more than –5.
(c) 6 less than 2
Moving 6 left of 2, we reach at –4. Hence, –4 is 6 less than 2.
(d) 3 less than –2
Moving 6 left of 2, we reach at –4. Hence, –4 is 6 less than 2.
(d) 3 less than –2
Moving 3 left of –2, we reach at –5. Hence, –5 is 3 less than –2.
Ques. 2. Use number line and add the following integers:
(a) 9 + (– 6)
(b) 5 + (– 11)
(c) (– 1) + (– 7)
(d) (– 5) + 10
(e) (– 1) + (– 2) + (– 3)
(f) (– 2) + 8 + (– 4)
Sol.2. (a)
Moving 6 left of 9, we reach at 3. Hence, 9 + (– 6) = 3.
(b)
Moving 11 left of 5, we reach at –6. Hence, 5 + (– 11) = –6.
(c)
Moving 7 left of –1, we reach at –8. Hence, (– 1) + (– 7) = –8
(d)
Moving 10 right of –5, we reach at 5. Hence, (– 5) + 10 = 5
(e)
Moving 2 left of –1, we reach at –3. Further, moving 3 left of –3, we reach at –6.
Hence, (– 1) + (– 2) + (– 3) =  –6.
(f)
Moving 8 right of –2, we reach at 6. Further, moving 4 left of 6, we reach at 2.
Hence, (– 2) + 8 + (– 4) = 2.
Ques. 3. Add without using number line:

(d) (– 250) + (+ 150)
(e) (– 380) + (– 270)
(f) (– 217) + (– 100)
Sol. 3.   (a) 11 + (– 7) = 4
(b) (– 13) + (+ 18) = 18 – 13 = 5
(c) (– 10) + (+ 19) = 19 – 10 = 9
(d) (– 250) + (+ 150) = – 100
(e) (– 380) + (– 270) = – 650
(f) (– 217) + (– 100) = – 317

Sol. 4.   (a) 137 + (– 354) = –217
(b) (– 52) + 52 = 0
(c) (– 312) + 39 + 192 = – 81
(d) (– 50) + (– 200) + 300 = 50
Ques. 5. Find the sum:
(a) (– 7) + (– 9) + 4 + 16
(b) (37) + (– 2) + (– 65) + (– 8)
Sol. 5. (a) (– 7) + (– 9) + 4 + 16 = (– 16) + 4 + 16 = 4
(b) (37) + (– 2) + (– 65) + (– 8) = 37 + (–75) = – 38
NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 6 – Integers Exercise 6.3
Ques. 1. Find
(a) 35 – (20)
(b) 72 – (90)
(c) (– 15) – (– 18)
(d) (–20) – (13)
(e) 23 – (– 12)
(f) (–32) – (– 40)
Sol. 1.(a) 35 – (20) = 15
(b) 72 – (90) = – 18
(c) (– 15) – (– 18) = (– 15) +18
= 18 – 15
= 3
(d) (–20) – (13) = – (20 + 13)
= – 33
(e) 23 – (– 12) = 23 + 12
= 35
(f) (–32) – (– 40) = (–32) + 40
= 40 – 32
= 8
Ques. 2. Fill in the blanks with >, < or = sign.
(a) (– 3) + (– 6) ______ (– 3) – (– 6)
(b) (– 21) – (– 10) _____ (– 31) + (– 11)
(c) 45 – (– 11) ______ 57 + (– 4)
(d) (– 25) – (– 42) _____ (– 42) – (– 25)
Sol. 2.(a) L.H.S. = (– 3) + (– 6)
= – 9
R.H.S. = (– 3) – (– 6)
= (– 3) + 6
= 3
– 9<3
Hence, (– 3) + (– 6) < (– 3) – (– 6)
(b) L.H.S. = (– 21) – (– 10)
= (– 21) + 10
= – 11
R.H.S. = (– 31) + (– 11)
= – 42
– 11 > – 42
Hence, (– 21) – (– 10) > (– 31) + (– 11)
(c) L.H.S. = 45 – (– 11)
= 45 +11
= 56
R.H.S. = 57 + (– 4)
= 53
56 > 53
Hence, 45 – (– 11) > 57 + (– 4)
(d) L.H.S. = (– 25) – (– 42)
= (– 25) + 42
= 17
R.H.S. = (– 42) – (– 25)
= (– 42) + 25
= – 17
17 > – 17
Hence, (– 25) – (– 42) > (– 42) – (– 25)
Ques. 3. Fill in the blanks.
(a) (– 8) + _____ = 0
(b) 13 + _____ = 0
(c) 12 + (– 12) = ____

Sol. 3. (a) (– 8) + _8_ = 0
(b) 13 + (– 13) = 0
(c) 12 + (– 12) = _0_
(d) (– 4) + (– 8) = – 12
(e) _5_ – 15 = – 10
Ques. 4. Find
(a) (– 7) – 8 – (– 25)
(b) (– 13) + 32 – 8 – 1
(c) (– 7) + (– 8) + (– 90)
(d) 50 – (– 40) – (– 2)
Sol. 4. (a) (– 7) – 8 – (– 25) = (– 7) – 8 + 25
= – 15 + 25
= 10
(b) (– 13) + 32 – 8 – 1 = (– 13) + 32 – 8 – 1
= (– 13) + 23
= 10
(c) (– 7) + (– 8) + (– 90) = (– 7) + (– 98)
= (– 105)
(d) 50 – (– 40) – (– 2) = 50 + 40 + 2
= 92
