Question

d(P,R)+d(R,Q)=d(P,Q) On a number line, co-ordinates of P,Q,R are 3,-5 and 6 respectively. State with reason whether the given statements are true or false.

Answer 1

Hi ,

<---•Q(-5)------•P(3)-------•R(6)--->

D(P,R) = 6 - 3 = 3

D(R,Q ) = 6 - ( - 5 ) = 6 + 5 = 11

D(P,Q) = 3 - ( -5 ) = 3 + 5 = 8

According to the problem given ,

LHS =D(P,R) + D(R,Q)

= 3 + 11 = 14

RHS = D( P , Q ) = 8

LHS ≠ RHS

Therefore ,
Given statement is False.

I hope this helps you.
