A. To get the integer 4 more than -5, we have to move 4 steps towards right from -5 on the number line and reach at – 1.

∴ The integer 4 more than -5 = -1

B. To get the integer 3 less than 2, we have to move 3 steps towards left from 2 on the number line and reach at – 1.

∴ The integer 3 less than 2 = -1

C. To get the integer 2 less than -2, we have to move 2 steps towards left from -2 on the number line and reach at – 4.

∴ The integer 2 less than -2 = -4
