Solution

The correct option is B False

Checking the sum of any two integers is an integer or not:

Integer: A set of positive numbers, negative numbers and zero is called integers.

Let us consider any two integers say 2 and 3

On finding the sum we get,

2+3=5 which is an integer.

Let us consider any other two integers say -4 and -9

On finding the sum we get,

-4+(-9)=-13 which is also an integer

So, the sum of two integers will be always an integer.

Hence, the given statement is false.
