Question

In which quadrant will the following points lie, if

(i) The ordinate is 5 and the abscissa is -3?
(ii) The abscissa is -3 and the ordinate is -4?
(iii) The ordinate is 3 and the abscissa is 7?
(iv) The ordinate is -2 and the abscissa is 2?

• A. I, II, II, IV
• B. IV, II, I, II
• C. III, II, I, IV
• D. II, III, I, IV

Answer 1

The correct option is D II, III, I, IV

(i) (-3, 5) $\to$ (-, +)

$\therefore$(-3, 5) lies in IInd quadrant

(ii) (-3, -4) $\to$ (-, -)

$\therefore$ (-3, -4) lies in IIIrd quadrant

(iii) (7, 3) $\to$ (+, +)

$\therefore$ (7, 3) lies in Ist quadrant

(iv) (2, -2) $\therefore$ (+, -)

$\therefore$ (2, -2) lies in IVth quadrant

Hence, option d is correct.
