Question

Arrange the following in an ascending order.

$\sqrt{2},\sqrt{5},-8,-0.31,-2.01,\sqrt{36}$.

• A. $-8,-0.31,-2.01,\sqrt{2},\sqrt{5},\sqrt{36}$
• B. $-8,-2.01,-0.31,\sqrt{2},\sqrt{5},\sqrt{36}$
• C. $-2.01,-8,-0.31,\sqrt{2},\sqrt{5},\sqrt{36}$
• D. $-8,-2.01,-0.31,\sqrt{5},\sqrt{2},\sqrt{36}$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$-8,-2.01,-0.31,\sqrt{2},\sqrt{5},\sqrt{36}$

Converting all of them in decimal format up to two decimal places.

$1.41,2.23,-8,-0.31,-2.01,6$

arranging them in ascending order we get

$-8,-2.01,-0.31,1.41,2.23,6$

So correct answer is Option B
