Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  $\left\{-1,2,-5\right\}$

Concept Used:

When two quantities are not equal, the comparison between them is often presented by certain symbols, this comparison is known as inequality and the symbols used for such comparison are known as inequality symbols.

There are four inequality symbols, $>$ , $<$ , $\ge$ , $\le$ namely “greater than”, “less than”, “greater than or equal to” and “less than or equal to” respectively.

Calculation:

In the given expression-

  $\left\{-1,2,-5\right\}$

We can say-

  $-5<-1<2$

Numbers in given set can be arranged in ascending order as-

  $\left\{-5,-1,2\right\}$
