Question

$\text{The stop signal is placed}\frac{13}{9}\text{km before}$
$\text{the warning sign board which is placed at the}$
$\text{position '0'.}$

What is the correct position of the stop signal?

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$\text{Since, the stop signal lies at position}\frac{13}{9}$ $\text{before the warning sign board which is}$
$\text{at '0', the signal lies on the left of 0}$
$\text{on the number line}$

$\text{Converting}\frac{13}{9}\text{to mixed fraction we}$ $\text{have}\frac{13}{9}=1\frac{4}{9}$

Hence, it lies between -1 and -2 at 4 parts out of 9 parts as shown below.


Therefore, third option is the correct answer.
