Hello
amanvermagmat ; could you please provide solution on why A is correct..
below is my take on the question
given ; 6 distinct integers ; so they can be either +ve or -ve ; integer cannot be 0 because question has not specified that there are six non-negative integer..
#1
Exactly three of these six distinct integers are positive : so if any of 3 integers are +ve , rest will be -ve ; the product of all 6 integers = -ve ; sufficient
#2
Exactly two of these six distinct integers are negative ;so rest integers ; +ve product of all six integers ; +ve
we are getting both statements correct and with contradictory Yes /No answers?
IMO E would be correct answer..
Why have you assumed that integers can only be either +ve or -ve. The question just says 'six distinct integers'; and 0 is also an integer.
From first statement, exaclty three integers are positive, so remaining three could be -ve or 0.
