Question

$Statement$ $I$: When a negative integer is divided by another negative integer, a positive quotient is obtained.
$Statement$ $II$: When an integer is divided by another integer of opposite sign, a negative quotient is obtained.

• A. Only $Statement$ $I$ is correct.
• B. Only $Statement$ $II$ is correct.
• C. Both the statements are correct.
• D. None of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both the statements are correct.

While dividing an integer by another integer if the signs are same, the quotient is positive. For example,
$\frac{-20}{-5}=4$
Whereas, if the signs are opposite, the quotient is negative. For example,
$\frac{20}{-5}=-4$
