Question

The difference between two negative integers cannot be a positive integer. State whether the statement is True or False.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Justification

Let us consider two negative integers

$-3$ and $-4$

On finding the difference we get

$$\begin{gathered} =-3–(-4) \\ =-3+4 \\ =1 \end{gathered}$$

The obtained integer is positive.

Hence, the difference between two negative integers can be a positive integer.

Thus, the given statement is false.
