On a number line, the distance from point A to zero is greater than the distance from point B to zero. Does point C lie between points A and B on the number line?
1) ABC > 0
2) |A| > |B| > |C|

1) \(ABC > 0\)
When \(AB < 0 \Rightarrow A, B\) are opposite by ZERO point \(\Rightarrow C < 0\), but we cannot make sure \(C\) lies between \(A\) and \(B\) or not. Insufficient\(\Large{\color{red}\chi}\)
2) \(|A| > |B| > |C|\)
If \(AB <0\), \(C\) lies between \(A\) and \(B\).
If \(AB> 0\), \(C\) does not lie between \(A\) and \(B\)
Insufficient \(\Large{\color{red}\chi}\)
Combining (1) and (2),
\(AB < 0 \Rightarrow C < 0\) AND lie between
\(AB>0 \Rightarrow C > 0\) and does not lie between
Insufficient \(\Large{\color{red}\chi}\)
Therefore,
E
