Question 20.
Let O, P and Z represent the numbers 0, 3 and -5 respectively on the number line. Points Q, R and S are between O and P such that OQ = QR = RS = SP. (NCERT Exemplar)
What are the rational numbers represented by the points Q, R and S. Next choose a point T between Z and 0 so that ZT = TO. Which rational number does T represent?
Solution:

As OQ = QR = RS = SP and OQ + QR + RS + SP = OP
therefore Q, R and S divide OP into four equal parts.
