I'm not convinced Samir....
combining the statements..
gratest & smallest have same sign & there are an even nos of terms
if the numbers are:
2, 4, 6, 8 then SUFF
and if the numbers are:
2, 4, -6, 8 then INSUFF... isnt it...

Suyog
its is given the product of the smallest and greatest integer is positive. In ur eg. smallest number is -6 and largest is 8. So the product is not positive. You have taken a wrong set of numbers.
Samir is correct in his explaination.
