Question

Choose the rational number which does not lie between rational numbers $-\frac{2}{5}$ and $-\frac{1}{5}$

• A. $-\frac{1}{4}$
• B. $-\frac{3}{10}$
• C. $\frac{3}{10}$
• D. $-\frac{7}{20}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{3}{10}$

Since the given rational numbers $-\frac{2}{5}$ and $-\frac{1}{5}$ are negative rational numbers, therefore, none of the positive rational number can lie between them.

Hence, the rational number $\frac{3}{10}$ does not lie between the rational numbers $-\frac{2}{5}$ and $-\frac{1}{5}$
