Question

Which of the following options can be filled in the blank?
-26 _______ -14

• A. $<$
• B. $>$
• C. =
• D. $\ne$

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

The correct options are
A

$<$

D

$\ne$

On the number line, note that -14 is to the right of -26 on the number line.
(i.e., -14 is closer to zero than -26)

Thus, -26 is less than -14. i.e., $-26<-14$

Also, $-26\ne -14$
