Answer:

Option C.

Explanation:

The given expression is


-(1)/(3)-(-(1)/(2))

We know that (-)(-)=(+). So, the given expression can be written as


-(1)/(3)+(1)/(2)

Taking LCM we get


(-2+3)/(3* 2)


(1)/(6)

The value of given expression is 1/6.

Two numbers are
-(1)/(3)\text{ and }-(1)/(2). Mark these point on the given number number.

Now, move from
-(1)/(2) to
-(1)/(3) and count the number of jumps.

Number of jumps from
-(1)/(2) to
-(1)/(3) is 1.

1 Jump = 1/6

Therefore, the value of given expression is 1/6, therefore the correct option is C.
