Subtraction of integers is an operation that is
Neither commutative nor associative
Explanation for the correct option :
Step-1 : Checking the commutativity
Let us consider two integers : and .
Now,
and i.e. .
So, the subtraction of integers is not commutative.
Step-2 : checking the associativity
Consider the integers , and . Then
and .
So,
Thus, the subtraction of integers is not associative.
Hence option (C) is the correct answer.
