the sum of two integer is always greater than each of two integer being added please tell ??????

It is obvious that if 2 numbers greater than equal to 1 are added, the sum is always greater than the individual numbers.[eg. 1+2=3(>1 & 2)]

But, note that Whole Numbers include “0”.

So if we consider this case;

  • If we add 2 whole numbers 0 and 1, we get;

0+1=1
 

  • 1
Integers are all the whole numbers along with the negative numbers. Let's take a few examples of addition of integers:
Example 1: 5+93 = 98
Here, 98 is greater than both 5 and 93, so the condition that the sum is greater than both the integers is satisfied.
Example 2: 18+0 = 18
Here, the sum 18 is greater than 0 but not greater than 18 so the condition is not exactly satisfied here.
Example 3: 15+(-7) = 8
Here the sum 8 is greater than -7 But clearly not greater than 15, so the condition is not satisfied here too.
Hence, the conclusion is that the condition that the sum is greater than both the integers in not always correct.
