Question.  7

The least integer lying between \(−10\) and \(−15\) is

(A)

−10

(B)

−11

(C)

−15

(D)

−14

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

Step 1: “Between −15 and −10” means numbers strictly inside the interval.

(-15 < n < -10)

Step 2: List the integers in this range.

(-14,; -13,; -12,; -11)

Step 3: “Least” means the smallest number on the number line.

For negative numbers, a smaller number is more negative (farther left).

Step 4: Compare the listed integers.

(-14 < -13)

(-13 < -12)

(-12 < -11)

Conclusion: The least integer is (-14).
