Solution
The correct option is DII and IV quadrants
A coordinate is an ordered pair of numbers in which the first number is the abscissa i.e. the measurement along the X axis and the second number is the ordinate i.e, the measurement along the Y axis.
The signs of the coordinates in the first quadrant is (+,+),
the second quadrant is (−,+),
the third quadrant is (−,−),
fourth quadrant is (+,−).
So, the points whose abscissa and ordinate have different signs are 2nd and 4th quadrants.
