Question

Write the following numbers in ascending order.
-2, -4, 5, -15, 20

• A. -15 < -4 < -2 < 5 < 20
• B. -4 < -15 < 5 < -2 < 20
• C. 20 < -4 < -2 < 5 < -15
• D. -2 < -4 < 5 < -15 < 20

Answer 1

The correct option is A -15 < -4 < -2 < 5 < 20

Here, on moving from left to right on a number line, the value of integer increases on every interval and decreases when we move from right to left.
$\therefore$ Ascending order: -15 < -4 < -2 < 5 < 20
