Match the following columns:


Column I



Column II



(a) The point A (-3, 0) lies on



(p) y-axis



(b) The point B (-5, -1) lies in quadrant



(q) IV



(c) The point C (2, -3) lies in quadrant



(r) III



(d) The point D(0, -6) lies on



(s) x-axis



The correct answer is:


A. -…….., B. -…….,


C. -…….., D. -…….,

(a) We know that,

The point of the type (a, 0) lies on the x-axis


∴ Point A (-3, 0) lies on the x-axis


(b) We know that,


The point of the type (-, -) lie in the III quadrant


∴ Point B (-5, -1) lies in the quadrant III


(c) We know that,


The point of the type (+, -) lie in the quadrant IV


∴ Point C (2, -3) lies in the quadrant IV


(d) We know that,


The point of the type (o, b) lies on the y-axis


∴ Point D (0, -6) lies on the y-axis


Hence, the correct match for the above given table is as follows:


(a) - (s)


(b) – (r)


(c) – (q)


(d) – (p)
