Question

If p: when a positive integer and a negative integer are added we always get a negative integer and q: when two negative integers are added, we get a positive integer, then.

• A. Both p and q are true
• B. p is true and q is false
• C. p is false and q is true
• D. Both p and q are false

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both p and q are false

When we add positive integer and negative integer then it is not necessary that result would be negative integer. It can be positive integer also

For eg- $(+8)+(-6)=2$. Hence the p statement is false.

When we add two negative integers, we will always get negative integer.
For eg- $(-7)+(-9)=-16$. Hence q statement is also false
