Question

State whether true or false: For all non-zero integers '$a$' and '$b$', $a\times b$ is always greater than either $a$ or $b$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

It is not always true. If one of the integers $a$ is negative and the other one $b$ is positive, then their product will be $a$ negative integer, which is less than $b$.

Let's take an example: -4, 8

$=-4\times 8$
$=-32$
$=-32<8$
