  1. $-17$

  2. $17$

  3. $\dfrac {1}{17}$

  4. $-\dfrac {1}{17}$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

  1. $5$

  2. $-75$

  3. $75$

  4. $-5$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Let the other number is $x$.

Then according to the problem we have,
$x+40=-35$
or, $x=-35-40$
or, $x=-75$.
