Statement 1: Product of two integers with same sign is always a positive integer.
Statement 2: Product of two integers with opposite sign is always a positive integer.
Choose the correct option:
When the signs of two integers are same, they can both be either positive or negative.
If both the integers are positive, then their product is positive.
For example,
(+3)×(+3)=(+9)
If both the integers are negative, then their product is still positive.
For example,
(−3)×(−3)=+9
But when signs are different, one integer is positive and the other one is negative.
The product of these two integers will always be negative.
For example,
(+3)×(−3)=−9
and (−3)×(+3)=−9
Therefore, Statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrect.
