Gurpinder is right in his answer. However, it is wrong to assume that a and b are integers until unless it is not mentioned in the question.Gurpinder wrote:-12<=a<=-7 and b>8?Taniuca wrote:Which of the following CANNOT be the value of ab if and -12<=a<=-7 and b>8?

so a = -12,-11,-10,-9,-8,-7
b > 8 ---> so b = 9,10,11,12.....
The answer is -56
56=7x8 --> we have the -7 as A but we dont have 8 from B.
