Arrange the following rational numbers in ascending and descending order
`(-5)/12, (-11)/8, (-15)/24, (-7)/(-9), 12/36`
उत्तर
`(-5)/12, (-11)/8, (-15)/24, (-7)/(-9), 12/36`
L.C.M of 12, 8, 24, 9, 36 is 4 × 3 × 2 × 3 = 72
Hint:
`(-5)/12 = (-5 xx 6)/(12 xx 6) = (-30)/72`
`(-11)/8 = (-11 xx 9)/(8 xx 9) = (-99)/72`
`(-15)/24 = (-15 xx 3)/(24 xx 3) = (-45)/72`
`(-7)/(-9) = (7 xx 8)/(9 xx 8) = 56/72`
`12/36 = (12 xx 2)/(36 xx 2) = 24/72`
Now comparing the numerators – 30, – 99, − 45, 56, 24 we get 56 > 24 > – 30 > – 45 > – 99
i.e. `56/72 > 24/72 > (-30)/72 > (-45)/72 > (-99)/72` and so `(-7)/(-9) > 12/36 > (-5)/12 > (-15)/24 > (-11)/8`
∴ Descending order `(-7)/(-9) > 12/36 > (-5)/12 > (-15)/24 > (-11)/8`
Ascending order `(-11)/8 < (-15)/24 < (-5)/12 < 12/36 < (-7)/(-9)`

Given that `p/q` and `r/s` are two rational numbers with different denominators and both of them are in standard form. To compare these rational numbers we say that:
`square/square` > `square/square`, if p × s > r × q
