Let p + q = 10, where p, q are integers. 1. Value-I = Maximum value of p x q when p, q are positive integers. 2. Value-II = Maximum value of p x q when p ≥ − 6, q ≥ − 4. Which one of the following is correct?

Value-I < Value-II

Value-II < Value-I

Value-I = Value-II

Cannot be determined due to insufficient data

Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation

1. **Analyze Statement 1 (Value-I):** We have $p + q = 10$ and need to maximize $p imes q$ for positive integers. Using th
