Solution

For this question, you must select a pair of answer choices. The product of the pair must be negative, so the possible products are $$(-20)/2^4, (-20)/3^2,(-10)/2^4 & (-20)/3^2.$$
The first product is $$(-20)/2^4 = -\frac{20}{16} < -1$$, the second product is $$(-20)/3^2 = -\frac{20}{9} < -1$$, and the third product is, $$(-10)/2^4 = -\frac{10}{16} < -1$$, so you can stop there.
The correct answer consists of Choices B (–10) and C $$\frac{1}{2^4}$$.

A number between -1 and 0 will be negative decimal number.
from option B and C we find, B/C = -10/16 which is between -1 and 0.
