Answer: Choice (C) 0> -s> -r
==========================================================
Explanation:
Let's consider an example. Pick any two positive numbers for r and s, where r is larger than s. I'll go with these:
We see that r > s is true since 5 > 2 is true
Also both are larger than 0 so we can say r > 0 and s > 0
This all combines into r > s > 0 being the case.
If we negate each number, then -r > -s would no longer be true. Use a number line to see that -5 is to the left of -2, so -5 > -2 is not true. Instead it would be -5 < -2
You can think of it like floors on a skyscraper. Positive numbers are above ground, while negative numbers are below ground in the basement levels. See the diagram below.
So -r > -s must be -r < -s instead. Both are smaller than 0
-r < 0 and -s < 0
This combines to -r < -s < 0
Flip everything and swap the outer sides to get 0 > -s > -r which leads us to choice C as the final answer
