Answer 1

Answer:

(A) It will be equal to -25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a number between -35 and -15.

To find:

A statement always true about the number.

(A) It will be equal to -25.

(B)It will be less than -20.

(c) It will be more than -10.

(D)It will be less than -10

Solution:

First of all, let us represent the given numbers on number line.

Please refer to the attached diagram for the number line representation of the numbers.

When we move towards left from 0, the numbers decrease.

Therefore, -15 is a value greater than -35.

-15 > -35

When we move towards right from 0, the numbers increase.

So, statement "A)It will be equal to -25" is true.

-25 will always be in between -15 and -35.

Option B:

Less than -20.

-40 is also lesser than -20 but is not in between -35 and -15.

So not true.

Option C:

More than -10.

-8 is also more than -10 but not in between -35 and -15.

So not true.

Option D:

Less than -10.

-11 is also lesser than -10 but is not in between -35 and -15.

So not true.
