If the dividend and divisor have unlike signs, then the sign of the quotient is _________.

  1. Positive
  2. Negative
  3. Zero
  4. Indeterminate

hintHint:

Division of a negative number by a positive number or vice versa gives a negative quotient.

The correct answer is: Negative


    When the dividend and the divisor are of unlike signs, the quotient would be negative. That is,
    When the dividend is negative and the divisor is positive or vice versa, there would always be a negative sign which would be passed on to the answer. Thus, making the quotient negative.
    Hence, the correct answer is option b.
