MCQ
When a negative integer is subtracted from another negative integer, the sign of the result:
  • A
    Is always negative.
  • B
    Is always positive.
  • C
    Is never negative.
  • ✓
    Depends on the numerical value of the integers.
✓

Answer

Correct option: D.
Depends on the numerical value of the integers.
Suppose we take two negative integers $-2$ and $-3$.
We subtract $(-3)$ from $(-2)$ and give a minus sign to get the result. i.e $-2 -(-3) = -2 + 3 = 1.$
Again, we subtract $(-2)$ from $-3$ and give a plus sign to get the result. i.e $-3 - (-2) = -3 + 2 = -1.$
So, the sign of the result depends on the numerical value of the integers..
