उत्तर
When a negative integer is subtracted from another negative integer, the sign of the result depends on the numerical value of the integers.
Explanation:
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.
