Negative Numbers & Integers — Statement I-II Type Questions

Statement 1: On a number line, integer m lies on the left side of integer n, then m < n.

Statement 2: When integers are marked on a number line, the integer on the left of the other is smaller.

Which of the following options is correct?

1. Both the statements are true.

2. Both the statements are false.

3. Statement 1 is true, and statement 2 is false.

4. Statement 1 is false, and statement 2 is true.

Answer

For any two integers marked on a number line, the one on the right side of the other is greater and the one on the left side of the other is smaller.

So, if m lies on the left side of n, then m < n. This makes Statement 1 true.

Statement 2 states the same general rule, that the integer on the left of the other is smaller, which is also true.

Thus, both the statements are true.

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
