Question

$Statement$ $I$: When a negative integer is multiplied by another negative integer, a positive integer is obtained.
$Statement$ $II$: When two opposite sign integers are multiplied, a negative integer 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 multiplying integers if the signs are same, the product is a positive integer. For example,
$(-7)\times (-4)=28$

Whereas, if the signs are opposite, the product is a negative integer. For example,
$(-7)\times \left(4\right)=-28$
