Which of the following statement are true?
(i)`(-8)-:(-1)=-8`
(ii) `-8-:(-2)=4`

Options

A. `(i)`
B. `(ii)`
C. `(i) and (ii)`
D. None of the above

Answer

To determine which of the statements are true, we will evaluate each statement step by step.

### Statement (i): \((-8) \div (-1) = -8\)

**Step 1:** Evaluate the left-hand side (LHS):
\[ LHS = -8 \div -1 \]

**Step 2:** Perform the division:
\[ -8 \div -1 = 8 \]
(The negative signs cancel each other out.)

**Step 3:** Compare the LHS with the right-hand side (RHS):
\[ RHS = -8 \]
Since \(8 \neq -8\), the statement is false.

### Statement (ii): \((-8) \div (-2) = 4\)

**Step 1:** Evaluate the left-hand side (LHS):
\[ LHS = -8 \div -2 \]

**Step 2:** Perform the division:
\[ -8 \div -2 = 4 \]
(Again, the negative signs cancel each other out.)

**Step 3:** Compare the LHS with the right-hand side (RHS):
\[ RHS = 4 \]
Since \(4 = 4\), the statement is true.

### Summary of Results:
- Statement (i) is **false**.
- Statement (ii) is **true**.
