(d) $– 11, 10$
(e) $– 6, 6$
(f) $1, – 100$


To do:

We have to find which number is to the right of the other on the number line.

Solution:

(a) Here,

$9>2$

Therefore,

9 lies to the right of 2 on the number line.

(b) Here,

$-3>-8$

Therefore,

$-3$ lies to the right of $-8$ on the number line.

(c) Here,

$0>-1$

Therefore,

$0$ lies to the right of $-1$ on the number line.

(d) Here,

$10>-11$

Therefore,

$10$ lies to the right of $-11$ on the number line.

(e) Here,

$6>-6$

Therefore,

$6$ lies to the right of $-6$ on the number line.

(f) Here,
