Answer:

Option 4

Explanation:

In integer division or multiplication,

  • If both numbers are negative or positive, the answer will be positive.
  • If one number is negative and other number is positive, the answer will be negative.

1) If a < 0 and b < 0 means a and b are both negative numbers.

Then a/b will be positive. But it is given that a/b < 0. So, it is wrong.

2) If a< 0 and b > 0 means a is negative & b is positive. So, a/b will be negative. But it is given a/b is positive. So, it is wrong.

3) a and b are positive (as a >0 and as b > 0), then a/b > 0 (a\b will be positive). So, it is wrong.

4) a is positive (as a>0) & b is negative (as b < 0), then a/b will be negative So, this is correct.
