Question

A rational number p over q is negative if one of p and q is positive and the other is

  1. Negative
  2. Positive           
  3. Both                
  4. Zero           

hintHint:

A rational number is negative when the numerator is negative and the denominator is positive or vice versa.

The correct answer is: Negative


    Given that  p over qis negative with p or q being negative. For this to happen the other value must be positive. This is because if both the numerator and the denominator was negative, it would cancel out and leave the rational number as positive. Thus, the other value has to be positive for the rational number to be negative with p or q being negative.
    Hence, the correct answer is option a.
