Question

If the product xy is negative, then which of the following is correct?
A. x/y<0
B. x/y>0
C. x<0
D. y<0

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (A) x/y < 0

Step-by-step explanation:

If the product of xy is negative then their are two possibilities

Either x < 0 or, y < 0 i.e. either x is negative or y is negative but we don't know which one of them is negative

However, we do know that if either of them are negative then their division will also be a negative number i.e.

x/y < 0

Therefore, the correct answer is Option (A)

Hope this is helpful.
