"?

• A. $c=-1$
• B. $c$ can be 0
• C. $c$ can be -2
• D. $c$ $\le -1$

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C), (D)

$c$ $\le -1$

Given, $c$ is a number that is not more than -1 which means the maximum value of the number $c$ is $-1$.

Hence, $c$ can have any value which is less than or equal to $-1$.

Representing the above statement as an inequality:
$c\le -1$
Hence, all the values less than or equal to -1 are accepted.

Option (a): $c=-1$
Value of $c$ is equal to -1.
$\to$ ACCEPTED

Option (b): $c$ can be 0
Value of $c$ is equal to 0 which is greater than -1.
$\to$ REJECTED

Option (c): $c$ can be -2
Value of $c$ is equal to -2 which is less than -1.
$\to$ ACCEPTED

Option (d): $c$ $\le -1$
Value of $c$ is less than or equal to -1.
$\to$ ACCEPTED
