Question

The set of Whole numbers with negative numbers is called:-
(a). Natural numbers
(b). Whole numbers
(c). Integers
(d). Fractions

Answer 1

- Hint-Before solving this question, let us know about Whole Numbers, and Integers.
WHOLE NUMBERS: The whole numbers are the part of the number system that includes all the positive integers from 0 to infinity. These numbers exist on the number line; hence they are all real numbers. Also, natural numbers along with ‘0’ are called whole numbers. For example: 0, 11, 25, 36, etc.
INTEGERS: Integers are a group of numbers that include whole numbers, negative numbers, and zero. But, decimals and fractions are not integers. For example: 5, -18, 92, -23, etc.

Complete step-by-step solution -

So, as mentioned above in the hint, the set of Whole numbers with negative numbers is called Integer.
Therefore, the correct answer of this question is (c) Integers.
Note:- Let us now learn about Natural Numbers and Fractions.
NATURAL NUMBERS: Natural numbers are a part of the number system which includes all the positive integers from 1 till infinity. It should be noted that natural numbers include only the positive integers i.e. set of all the counting numbers like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc., excluding the fractions, decimals, and negative numbers.
FRACTIONS: Fractions represent a part of a whole or, any number of equal parts. A fraction describes how many parts of a certain size are there. For example: one – half, eight – fifths, three – quarters.
