1 Mark

Ans: 3. Soluon: (c) Obviously, is greater, since this is ony number which is on the rightmost side of the number line among others.

Q41. Which of the following pairs of raonal numbers are on the opposite side of the zero on the number line?

  1. None of these.

1 Mark

Ans: 3. Soluon: The raonal numbers are posive raonal numbers. We know that every posive raonal number is greater than 0, so both the raonal numbers are represented by points on the right of the zero on the number line. The raonal numbers are negave raonal numbers. We know that every negave raonal number is less than 0, so both the raonal numbers are represented by points on the le of the zero on the number line. The raonal numbers is a posive raonal number whereas the raonal number is a negave raonal numbers. We know that every negave raonal number is less than 0 and every posive raonal number is greater than 0, so the raonal number is represented by point on the right of the zero and is represented by point on the le of the zero on the number line. Thus, the raonal numbers are on the opposite side of the zero on the number line. Hence, the correct answer is opon (c).
