Question

For any two rational numbers x and y which of the following are correct, if x is positive and y is negative?
$\left(1\right)$ x $<$ y
$\left(2\right)$ x $=$ y
$\left(3\right)$ x $>$ y.

• A. Only $1$ and $2$ are correct
• B. Only $2$ and $3$ are correct
• C. Only $3$ is correct
• D. All $1,2$ and $3$ are correct

If x is positive and y is negative, then the value of x will always be greater than value of y

$\therefore$ $x>y$

Hence the correct answer is option C.
