Solution
This statement is False.
Explanation:
Here, `(-3)/4` and –2 (Like)
First, we do same denominator.
We get, `- 3/4` and `(-2 xx 4)/(1 xx 4)`
⇒ `(-3)/4` and `(-8)/4`
Now, comparing both numbers,
`(-3)/4 > (-8)/4`
⇒ `(-3)/4 > -2`
So, `- 3/4` is greater than –2.

`l ("OQ") = sqrt2` , `l("QR") = 1`
`therefore` by Pythagoras theorem,
`[l("OR")]^2 = [l("OQ")]^2 + [l("QR")]^2 `
= `square^2`+ `square^2` = `square` + `square`
= `square`
∴ l(OR) = `square`
