Question

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
Statement-$1$: When a positive integer and a negative integer are added, we always get a negative integer.
Statement-$2$: When two negative integers are added, we get a positive integer.

• A. Only Statement-$1$
• B. Only Statement-$2$
• C. Both Statement-$1$ and Statement-$2$
• D. Neither Statement-$1$ nor Statement-$2$

Answer 1

The correct option is D Neither Statement-$1$ nor Statement-$2$

When a positive integer and a negative integer are added, we can get a positive or negative integer.
Therefore, statement $1$ is false.

Fro example: $-4+3=-1$ or $4+(-3)=1$
And when two negative integers are added, we get a negative integer.
$\therefore$ Statement $2$ is false.

For example: $-3+(-4)=-7$
