Divide by -1, it will change the sign of inequality: 0 < ab < 1
If we drop the "0<" part then the meaning of the inequality changes as it becomes ab < 1 and product of ab can be any value less than 1.Gurpinder wrote: Hey Rahul,
So once we have come at 0 < ab < 1, can we drop the "0<" part and take away the rest of the equation or do we have to keep it?
Thanks

But 0 < ab < 1 implies value of ab will be positive as it lies between 0 and 1.
Does that help?
