Detailed Solution

We have to determine whether – 100 is to the right of – 50 on a number line or not.
When we move from right to left, the number decreases and from left to right, the number increases.
By marking points at equal distances, draw a number line.
Mark -50 on moving 50 points on the left from zero and the same for -100. Now, observe which number is on the right side.
Question ImageBy observation, -50 is on the right side of -100 or -100 is on the left side of -50.  Hence, -100 is on the left side of -50, so option 2 is correct.
