Observe the number line and state which of the following options is not true?

• Q is greater than 0

• P is smaller than 0

• P is greater than -18

• P is smaller than -18

Answer explanation

On the number line the numbers that lie on the right are greater and numbers that lies on the left side are smaller. Here we have to identify a false statement. Q lies on the right side of 0 therefore Q is greater than 0. P lies on the left side of zero therefore P is smaller than 0. P lies on the right side of -18 therefore P is greater than -18. Hence option 4 is the right answer.
