Question

Which of the following lies in the second quadrant?

• A. (-3,-2)
• B. (-3,2)
• C. (-5,-6)
• D. (-5,6)

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

The correct options are
B (-3,2)
D (-5,6)

Those points which have abscissa less than 0 and ordinate greater than 0 will lie in the second quadrant.
(-3,-2) has -3 < 0 and 2 < 0 so it will not lie in the second quadrant but, lies in the third quadrant.
(-3,2) has -3 < 0 and 2 > 0 so it will lie in second quadrant.
(-5,-6) has -5 < 0 and -6 < 0 so it will not lie in second quadrant but, lies in the third quadrant.
(-5,6) has -5 < 0 and 6 > 0 so it will lie in the second quadrant.
