Negative numbers are always less than their absolute value.
Difference of two whole number is not always a whole number.For any two whole numbers a & b, a - b = whole number only when a is greater than or equal to b.* * * * *Wrong!Even if a is less than b, the difference is still a whole number. Whole numbers can be negative.So the correct answer to the question is "YES".
Not necessarily. Here is a counterexample:Take the two numbers -3 and -4. Their sum is -7, their difference is 1; or -1, depending in what order you do the subtraction, but in any case, that difference is more than the sum.
