Let p + q = 10 where p, q are integers.

Value-I = Maximum value of p × q when p, q are positive integers.

Value-II = Maximum value of p × q when p ≥ = – 6 q ≥ = –4

Which one of the following is correct?

(a) Value-I < Value-II

(b) Value-II < Value-I

(c) Value-I = Value-II

(d) Cannot be determined due to insufficient data
