(b ) If `a lt b "then " 1/a gt 1/b`
( c) If `a lt b , " then " |a| lt |b|`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
None
is not always truye a=-4 and b=3 , given statement is not true
(b) is not always true for a = -3 and b=2 given statement is not true
(c ) is not always true for a = -5 and b =3 given statement is not true
