Question

P, Q, R and S are four different integers on a number line. From the following clues,

find these integers and write them in ascending order.

i) S is the least of the given integers.

ii) R is the smallest positive integer.

iii) The integers P and S are at the same distance from 0.

iv) Q is 2 units to the left of integer R.​

Answer 1

Answer:

S > Q > R > P

Step-by-step explanation:

From ii) we get that S is negative.

From iii) we get that S = -P . Because S is negative, so P is positive. Also, R < P & S < R

So, S < R < P

From iv) we get that Q is smaller than R or Q < R

But, S is smallest.

So, our final ascending order becomes S > Q > R > P
