We know that negative number which is closer to zero is bigger. If magnitude of a negative number is less than magnitude of other negative number then negative number having less magnitude is greater. (Here, magnitude means distance of number from zero). Here, magnitude of -3 is 3 and magnitude of -13 is 13. We know, 3<13 . Therefore, -3>-13. Hence, given statement is true.
