Class 6 - Mathematics - Unit 3: Integers - True or False Questions
Question. 19
Zero is not an integer as it is neither positive nor negative.
Answer:
false
Detailed Answer with Explanation:
Step 1: Recall the set of integers.
\(\ldots, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, \ldots\)
Step 2: Check if \(0\) appears in this set.
Yes, \(0\) is written between \(-1\) and \(1\).
Step 3: Understand signs.
Positive integers: \(1, 2, 3, \ldots\)
Negative integers: \(-1, -2, -3, \ldots\)
Zero has no sign: it is neither positive nor negative.
Step 4: Being signless does not exclude \(0\) from integers.
It still belongs to the integer set.
Conclusion: The statement is false because \(0\) is an integer.
