Question

Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:
Given that x, y and b are real numbers and x\[<\]y, b\[>\]0, then

 

Options

• \[\frac{x}{b < \frac{y}{b}}\]

• \[\frac{x}{b \leq \frac{y}{b}}\]

• \[\frac{x}{b > \frac{y}{b}}\]

• \[\frac{x}{b \geq \frac{y}{b}}\]

Answer 1

Given that x, y and b are real numbers and

 x\[<\]y, b\[>\]0. Both sides of an inequality can be multiplied or divided by the same positive number.

\[\therefore \frac{x}{b} < \frac{y}{b}\]

Hence, the correct option is (a).
