Explanation:

Let, two integers 8 (Positive integer) and -2(negative integer)

Sum of 8 and -2 is 6 (positive integer)

Which implies that, It is not necessary “when a positive integer and a negative integer are added we always get a negative integer ” It can be positive also.

P statement is false

Let two negative integers be -2 and -3

The sum of -2 and -3 is -5 which is negative.

It contradicts the q statement.

q statement is false.

Final Answer:

Option (D) is correct. As, both the statements are false.
