Which statement is correct on the number line?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: −√2 is to the left of 0

The governing concept is the order of real numbers according to their signs. Every negative number lies to the left of zero, while every positive number lies to the right. Since √2 is positive, its opposite, −√2, is negative and therefore lies to the left of 0. Hence option C is correct. Option A reverses the position of a negative number, and option B incorrectly places the positive number √2 on the left. Option D is also false: √2 is irrational and approximately 1.414, not exactly 2. In fact, if √2 were 2, squaring both sides would give 2=4, an impossibility. The sign of −√2 alone is sufficient to determine its position on the number line.
