Question

$p$ and $q$ were picked out of the number line, where $p$ was lying to the right of $q$. Then,

• A. $p<q$
• B. $p>q$
• C. $p=q$
• D. $p\le q$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $p>q$

All numbers on the number line to the left of a reference point are smaller than the reference point.
Similarly, all numbers on the number line to the right of a reference point are greater than the reference point.
Thus, if $p$ lies to the right of $q$, then we have $q<p$ or $p>q$.
