Solution

The first question both numbers have negative signs. Therefore, the number with less value will be greater here.
So, $- 14$ $< - 10$ .
In the second question, one number is a positive and another is negative. We know that positive numbers are always greater than negative numbers.

So, $- 10 < 5$
